Our Story

Welcome to El Capulin Mexican Bar & Grill—your new go-to destination for authentic Mexican flavors in Bowling Green, KY. Established in 2025, El Capulin is locally owned and operated, born from a passion to bring vibrant, flavorful food and a warm, welcoming environment to the heart of South Warren District. Conveniently located near Chaney’s Dairy Barn and Michael O. Buchanan Park, we’re proud to be part of the Richpond community and excited to serve as a hub for good food, great drinks, and even better company.

El Capulin was founded with one goal: to create a place where guests could enjoy traditional-style Mexican dishes in a space that feels like home. We wanted to combine the recipes and flavors we love with a neighborhood feel—somewhere you can relax with your family, grab dinner with friends, or celebrate a special moment. Every dish that leaves our kitchen is crafted with care, using high-quality ingredients and bold, time-honored flavors.

Our menu blends the classics with fresh takes on regional favorites. From sizzling fajitas and cheesy enchiladas to our signature EC Bowls and Ribeye Guacamole, there’s something to satisfy every craving. For those who like to mix it up, our Taco Flights offer a flavorful sampler of styles and fillings. And for guests looking for lighter fare, we offer carb-friendly options that don’t skimp on flavor. We also serve kids’ plates, irresistible desserts, and a full bar menu—including beer, liquor, and our popular margarita flights.

We know life is busy, which is why we offer multiple ways to enjoy El Capulin. Dine in and enjoy our cozy, upbeat atmosphere, call in a to-go order for dinner on the run, or let us cater your next party, office lunch, or special event. No matter how you choose to enjoy our food, our goal is the same: to deliver an experience that’s flavorful, easy, and full of heart.

Even though El Capulin is new to Bowling Green, we’re deeply rooted in tradition—and committed to becoming part of the fabric of our community. We believe in good food, honest service, and the joy of gathering around the table. With every plate we serve, we hope to share a little bit of that joy with you.

Testimonials

On 6/12/2025 Hunter Howard had this to say:
This was the BEST Mexican food hands down. The food was hot when it came out, it was inexpensive, and the service was phenomenal. I will definitely be coming here over any other Mexican restaurant.

On 6/9/2025 Josh Morel had this to say:
Absolutely amazing! If you've lived in BG and tried all the Mexican usuals (El Maz, Chuy's, Puertos) this place beats them all hands down. The food is next level (I normally get the Chori Pollo). The refried beans are the best in town. During our last visit, I forgot my to go box at the table. A gentleman ran outside with it to make sure I got it. Who does that? The service is amazing and wait staff just as friendly. The short drive to the south side of town is well worth it. I highly recommend!

Great food and service

On 6/7/2025 Jacob Embry had this to say:
I can not stress enough how much I recommend this restaurant. My wife and I tried it for the first time today and Holy cow. She got the EC Burrito and LOVED it. She said this is the best Mexican dish she's ever eaten. I tried the steak and chicken quesadillas, and they were flavorful, tender, well cooked, not greasy and quite filling. If you haven't ate here yet, seriously go!
