About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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 love this restaurant. My wife and I both love the energy that the diverse wait staff and customers provide. As usually, we ordered 5 small plates. The star was the soft shell crab. But even something as simple as the broccolini is special. We took the menu home with us this time so we can try recreating the broccolini in our home kitchen. The chief needs to document his food in a cookbook The food is as beautiful as it tastes!

    B&B was excellent, ordered ButterBeans, Market Vibez, Barbacoa, Gambas A La Plancha & charred broccolini which has delicious flavors & were excellent. One person ordered Shorty Pan and said it was burnt. Cocktails were good & Red Sangria was not too sweet…..

    Everything was fine with our dining experience, however, as someone who does not cook with salt, there was an awful lot of sodium in the lamb dumplings, and the shrimp with the bread. I know I am sensitive to a lot of sodium, but when my daughter said the same, we knew it was too much salt. Interesting that the picture on the website had a darker more richly tomato sauce with the shrimp but the sauce we received did not look nearly as good as the one in the picture. We actually ordered the vegetables but they never came so we just got them to go as they wrapped up two of our dishes. I’m going to add some tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes to the shrimp and hopefully mask the sodium taste.

    Excellent menu selection, food was well balanced and spiced and brought out at a good pace when sharing the small plates. Service was good and attentive. They could use some soft furnishings to absorb some of the noise inside the restaurant but we would definitely return.

    We went for our anniversary and shared 4 of the small plates and two desserts. The arepas, steamed baos, butter beans, and chorizo ciabatta. So so so so good. Chorizo ciabatta was our favorite. So many flavors that paired together beautifully. For desserts we got the churros and the Mexican pudding. Churros were tasty but nothing special. Mexican pudding was divine. We will definitely be returning!! If you are noise sensitive, opt for the patio seating.
