• Fusion / Eclectic • Durham

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.

    This was our 2nd night in a row to dine at Juju's, we were greeted again promptly by the same Hostess from the first night ( hate I didn't get her name again) but this time she greeted me by using my name which was a very important notice for me. Our server tonight was Brea and once again she was fantastic. I asked her about several drinks and dishes which she made great recommendations. Overall experience again great and I look forward to trying yet other dishes.

    This was our second time to Little Bull as we celebrated our 22nd anniversary. Davon, our waiter, was super attentive and friendly! Drinks were off the charts delicious. We had DIY hand roll, Ceviche, and octopus. The octopus was much better the first time we dined at LB. Other small plates were delicious! We split the seasonal scallops and shrimp dish with grits. This plate was out of this world good! The grits were the best I have had! This little spot has become one of our all time favorite places to dine!
