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’ve eaten at Little Bull three times now and the chefs do an incredible job executing a diverse array of upscale Mexican fusion tapas. Everything we got was well prepared and seasoned, offering an array of culinary delights for every palate. As a pescatarian, they had wonderful accommodations to help me make the most of their tapas (prosciutto on the side for others to enjoy with a bean dish, a veggie version of their chicken arepa available). It’s always a delight - we’ll be back for sure!

    The food was pretty good, drinks were not so good and extremely overpriced for the quality, the service was poor, and the location was not so great. Nice restaurant, but they missed the mark.

    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!
