How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Norfolk’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on 2026-10-20. We added Colley Cantina and a second Lupita’s from their own sites. Six places with no working website stay on the list because the Virginia Department of Health inspected them in 2026. We dropped four records we could not confirm. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places?
