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.

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.

First time visit. Terrific pasta, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Try the white ragu and anything with the tajarin-style pasta. Creative cocktails. Cool vibe. Impeccable service. We will return!
