Price: Very Expensive
• Fusion / Eclectic • Durham
Booked 29 times today
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.

    The vibe is awesome! Romantic or trendy/vibe spot w/ friends. The food was excellent and the drinks were good too. The service was not that excellent, but giving some latitude since it was valentine's weekend and seemed to be understaffed. They gave us water glasses but did not give any water until we asked 20 mins later. They forgot one of our appetizers. We had to ask to place an order, as it was difficult to get anyone to return. The server was very nice, informative, and friendly, just seemed unable to be attentive. Will still return.

    Great option for three and four course traditional Italian meal with a date or group. Knowledgeable staff. Maggie was helpful with both the food and wine menu. Open air kitchen makes for an aromatic environment, tonight was brown butter sage.

    Little Bull is my boyfriend and l’s go to. It never lets us down and this time was no different! The food was absolutely delicious! The ceviche is always a favorite of ours and every time we order it, it is show stopping. I could not recommend this restaurant enough and always bring friends and family there when they visit. Can’t wait to go back :)
