Our Story

More Than a Restaurant — A Tradition

El Maguey Number 5 has been a cornerstone of Ooltewah's dining scene, serving up genuine Mexican flavors that keep families coming back for more.

Every dish is prepared with the same care and attention our founders brought when they first opened these doors. From hand-made tortillas to slow-cooked meats, we refuse to cut corners.

Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a family dinner, you'll find the same warmth and authenticity in every bite.
