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 enjoyed our dining experience at Little Bull! We plan to go back! Tony is an excellent server and gave great advice on selections as it was our first visit. The only criticism I have is once they got very busy our service declined a bit. However, not a deal breaker! I suggest going early if you can!

    The staff was very nice and my witness was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was good but this is tapas style so you need 3 to 4 plates unless you order a meal sized entrée

    I was very disappointed in my experience. Biggest issue is the fish - it is not written anywhere on the menu that the fish is raw. We ordered scallops and they came out raw. Gross. This needs to be made more clear, but also - why would we ever assume they wouldn’t be cooked? The servings were also small for how expensive the food was. We also ordered 2 more sides and a main dish. I felt it was all just mediocre for how expensive it was.

    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 :)
