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.

On 11/29/2025 recovering dumbass had this to say:
Fairly new restaurant located in south Warren County. The atmosphere is about what you would expect as far as the motif and table layout. Very clean and well kept. The food was very good! All three members of our little party enjoyed their dishes. The Birria tacos were well made and very tasty! Everyone got their own bowl of salsa, and the chips were fresh and still hot. Definitely one of the better Mexican restaurants in town.
