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.

    We are never disappointed at Taberna Tapas. The menu choices, including a balanced wine list, are varied -- and everything we have tried there is delicious and worth a return visit. This time we had the calamari (lightly breaded and delicate), warm beet salad (excellent with greens and walnuts), albondigas (meatballs with a delicate flavor and unusual lightness), gambas al ajillo (a stand-out dish of Taberna), and pan con tomate. Just the right balance of plates. We will definitely return! And Seth, our server, was super-attentive. We had a wonderful time.

    This was our first time eating at JuJu, and we will definitely come back! We had the short rib wontons, which were outstanding, the pork dumplings, which were very yummy and beautifully presented, and General Tsos chicken with rice on the side, which was delicious! It was my husband‘s birthday, and they surprised him with a dessert and we shared it. It was outstanding! This was not our last time at Juju! We thoroughly enjoyed it!
