Little Bull is sincere, nostalgic comfort food, inspired by the palates of first-generation immigrant kids. Pocho cuisine is not a gimmick. Like Oscar, it’s a little bull-headed, but with no bullshit. It means more than loaded terms like “New American” or “modern Mexican.” And it’s authentic to Chef’s personal experience.“American food is undefined. But it’s been designated to certain ideas and people. It’s actually evolving, as much as our landscape is a melting pot. As much as my own identity as a first-generation American and chef.”Pocho started as a term used by people in Mexico to poke fun at the “American” kids who speak Spanglish. At Little Bull, pocho cuisine showcases the evolution of being a chef in America, inspired by every immigrant and their growing influence on our food.

    Food and service was good. Artwork was seriously disturbing. Plain wood chairs with no padding or cushions. Strangely cheap given high end menu

    My husband and I loved the bright light coming in from the windows, the quiet ambience, the sincerely attentive service and the extremely tasty freshly cooked food. Plus the brown butter pot de creme was amazing! I had the General Tso's Chicken and it was perfectly spiced with the best braised cabbage leaves. Delicious! Well worth the price for all that we enjoyed. We will definitely visit again and regularly.

    Celebrated our anniversary at Little Bull. The food was amazing, portions are not large for small plates, so I recommend 2 to 3 per person. Delicious options, the scallop crudo and tuna rolls were favorites. Save room for the donuts…..a perfect dessert. Cannot wait to visit again.
