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.

    Fantastic food and good service. Food arrived very promptly and service was outstanding. We loved the birria dumplings, arepas (very filling), and guava ice cream in particular. Drinks are creative and tasty. A great treat!

    We have eaten at all the fine dining restaurants in Durham and Chapel Hill and we found a diamond in the rough with Little Bull. Hands down, my new favorite spot! Surpasses all expectations we had.

    Fantastic dining experience. Don't miss the Lima Bean dish! We soaked up the sauce with the fresh ciabatta.

    Wonderful menu concept of global fusion. Presentation wonderful and taste and flavors even better. A bit pricey for small plates ($14-20) but everything is pricey these days. The quality was exceptional. My only comment would be the music - not to my liking and therefore a bit too loud. We will def return.

    Really attentive service! The food seemed a bit bland this time, except for the broccolini which was super salty and pretty spicy.
