Price: Very Expensive
• Fusion / Eclectic • Durham
Booked 29 times today
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.

    The dining experience was wonderful! Ginger our waiter was very good in explaining the menu and answering our questions. The food was phenomenal! I had the scallops and my husband got the pork chop. Also we had the Beet Burrato for our appetizer which was so delicious! The only downside to the restaurant was our bar experience while waiting for our dinner time. The bartender was very nice but very slow and seemed to be reading off something while he fixed drinks. I felt he needed help!

    This was our second time to Little Bull as we celebrated our 22nd anniversary. Davon, our waiter, was super attentive and friendly! Drinks were off the charts delicious. We had DIY hand roll, Ceviche, and octopus. The octopus was much better the first time we dined at LB. Other small plates were delicious! We split the seasonal scallops and shrimp dish with grits. This plate was out of this world good! The grits were the best I have had! This little spot has become one of our all time favorite places to dine!
