Colley Cantina

VEER Magazine calls Colley Cantina a beloved neighborhood dive bar, and Coastal Virginia Magazine lists it among the area's neighborhood bars and pubs. Open on Colley Avenue since 1991, it pairs a Ghent barroom with a Cal-Mex kitchen. Come for cold drinks and a burrito at the bar. A genuine, long-running Norfolk dive with food worth ordering rather than just an afterthought.

VEER Magazine's review of Colley Cantina, the Ghent-area room open since 1991, highlighted a Cal-Mex menu that leans on burritos and a house Baja sauce. This is the burrito facet of a spot that also reads as a neighborhood bar. Order a burrito with the Baja sauce and settle in. A durable Colley Avenue standby for cheap, satisfying Mexican-American plates.
