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.

    Little Bull never disappoints! Had dinner with a friend, and it was the perfect spot to catch up over great food. The atmosphere is lively, welcoming, and full of personality. The Market Vibez are always a go-to, and the Halal Gueys Chicken is an absolute 10/10. Love the creativity of the menu and the energy of this place. Already looking forward to my next visit!

    We’ve been to Verdegris (Oxford oaks) a few times and always had a good experience. This time we went with the coursed meal. The chef made a tailored menu for us based on our preferences and it was a grand slam. Every course was a unique dish perfectly plated, and delicious. As always the atmosphere and service were great.

    Our waiter Billy was phenomenal! We arrived early in the evening so it was pretty quiet which we enjoy. The food was great and plentiful, we both brought home leftovers. The entire experience was lovely! Will definitely be back.
