• Fusion / Eclectic • Durham
Booked 39 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.

    I generally don’t write reviews, but JuJu Durham deserves all the stars and praise. If I could have eaten everything on the menu, I would have! My partner and I enjoyed the sizzling sisig with bing bread, drunken noodles, bomb a** shrimp, and the bao donuts. When I tell you that we were savoring every bite, I am not lying. Everything was cooked to perfect and came out at the perfect time from meal to meal. The hostess and waitress were very attentive — waters were never empty, we weren’t waiting forever to order, etc. My only comment was that it was pretty loud in the restaurant when it gets busy, so if you want something intimate maybe Juju is not for you. Overall, 10/10. We will definitely be coming back again and again.

    Our party of 4 shared appetizers: crudo, hand roll, brussels sprouts, broccolini, grilled shrimp, birria dumplinsg and barbacoa. All of the dishes were so flavorful, and each of us had a different favorite, though the shrimp was a standout. Our food was coursed nicely, 2 or 3 dishes at a time. Yje service was cheerful and seamless. I had the churros for dessert. Light as a cloud! The place got a little noisy by the time we left (7PM) but we could still converse comfortably. Easily one of the very best restaurants in Durham!
