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.

    Food was amazing as always. One minor suggestion is to taste food before its send out. Tony, our waiter was wonderful! He was suggesting great options and was knowledgeable about every single dish/ingredient! Cant wait to go back!

    We’ve been several times over the past few months with just the two of us and a larger party of family and friends. Every meal is extraordinary. Quickly becoming my new favorite Durham restaurant. Sit at the bar and get the smash burger if you can!

    Made a reservation on open table for 2:15, as soon as we sat we were told the kitchen closed in 15 minutes. That felt weird and rushed. Food was beautiful and delicious

    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.

    Ceviche, Brussel Sprouts were good. The Goat Birra was very salty and just OK. The barbacoa tacos and gambas were delicious. Didn't appreciate being charged 5.00 for a soda (didn't see price on menu) and then not told that refills were not free. Charged 10.00 for 10 cents cost of diet coke.
