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.

    Really great flavors in the dishes we had. Menu rotates but the scallops, gambas and churro dessert were amazing. Oh and def get the bread and butter.

    Fantastic dining experience. Don't miss the Lima Bean dish! We soaked up the sauce with the fresh ciabatta.

    Wonderful menu concept of global fusion. Presentation wonderful and taste and flavors even better. A bit pricey for small plates ($14-20) but everything is pricey these days. The quality was exceptional. My only comment would be the music - not to my liking and therefore a bit too loud. We will def return.

    Really attentive service! The food seemed a bit bland this time, except for the broccolini which was super salty and pretty spicy.

    Last night was my first visit to Little Bull. I took a close friend out for her birthday and the whole experience was wonderful. Our server was delightful, knowledgeable, and kind. The food was extraordinary. The flavors we were experiencing were so delicious, we were distracting from our "what's-going-on-in-your-life" conversation and found ourselves just talking about the food. If you haven't been to Little Bull, you are missing an experience you need in your life.

    Another great experience at Little Bull. The 3 of us Ate in the main room and had great service. Helpful advice from the server and wonderful pacing of the 7 small plates and on grande. All were tasty but would especially call out the arepa, ceviche, shrimp bao bun. Carne main was excellent and bread pudding was enough for 3 to split.

    We enjoyed our dining experience at Little Bull! We plan to go back! Tony is an excellent server and gave great advice on selections as it was our first visit. The only criticism I have is once they got very busy our service declined a bit. However, not a deal breaker! I suggest going early if you can!
