We had been really excited to try Ragtag, and the food absolutely lived up to the hype. Every dish and dessert we ordered was outstanding, genuinely some of the best we’ve had in Auckland.
This would easily be one of our top choices for special occasions based on the food alone. Huge compliments to the chefs and kitchen team.
We walked in without a booking and were happy to sit in the outdoor walk-in area. However, from the moment we arrived the service felt quite cold and there wasn’t much of a welcome or smile from the waitresses , and when menus were brought over there was no explanation of the dishes. We noticed other tables receiving a warmer introduction, which made the experience feel a little uneven.
At one point the other table became free before our food arrived, and we politely asked if we could move ( as we were sharing the table with another group but we were happy to but since one became free)
We were told yes but didn’t receive assistance, so we ended up moving the table ourselves.
Toward the end of the meal, when we asked about dessert, the service did feel noticeably more friendly, which we appreciated though the initial impression had already shaped the experience.
We completely understand the casual style of the restaurant, but a small gesture of friendliness or smile would have made a big difference to how welcome we felt.
That said, the food truly is exceptional and memorable. We still would love to return, and hope the front-of-house warmth can match the incredible standard coming from the kitchen

Simply divine. The flavours are carefully and lovingly curated by the team at ragtag and the efforts are clear in the juicy, tender, perfectly crisp tortillas and meat. The perfect combination and textures dance on your palette with each bite.
Every dish was consistently impressive, which is a feat in itself. My personal favourite was the duck tacos and the peach bomb Alaska- was bomb
Service was on point. Our waiter was extremely attentive and accomodating. Their attention to detail made our experience all the more memorable.

Delicious. The fresh sweet heirloom tomato salad was a stand out. Duck tacos and T-bone steak were a must try but don’t skip the fish tostada. Fresh, full of flavour, and plated on a fish shaped plate. Barista coffee was available for lunch dining. Service was ok but nothing to write home about. Portions were large and great for sharing.

Great spot and was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday evening.
The atmosphere is nice and you can’t beat it on a great sunny day. One small thing was there definitely a lot of locals and regulars and since we weren’t we felt that it was a different treatment where our server was more in a rush and abrupt while keen to chat with the locals. Don’t mind it and he was still great but it’s just noticeably different experiences.
Food wise there’s a lot of Mexican inspiration and we enjoyed it a lot. Tacos were excellent and probably our favourite and it just pairs well with some cocktails which was excellent. No real standout dishes from what we tried but all were pretty good.
Overall a great spot for a bite, delicious and decent location too away from hustle and bustle with a more relaxed vibe.

Excellent experience at Ragtag. We took our 3 month old in a pram (make sure when you book, you let them know so they can seat you at an appropriate table). They also had a bathroom with a change table, cushion for baby to lay on (bring your own change mat which most parents will have anyway) and even had nappies if you needed them. This is such a nice touch for parents with babies. Was enough parking within 100m walking distance. Thanks

Duck tacos are amazing, a must order item for all. Steak was slightly underwhelming with the sauces but nicely cooked to medium rare. Service was good. Would overall come back. Booking is recommended here.

Really enjoyed the food here, their small plates and large plates are perfect for when groups.
Favourite dish was their prawn tostada and dessert was great, best Sticky Toffee Pudding in Auckland.
5 stars, worth the visit.

Cute little place.
Menu has a sharing menu and mains.
I had the raw fish, he had the kimchi inspired dish and they had the main fish dish.
I had to have the toffee pudding dessert which was top notch.
Our sharing dishes were packed with flavour. Just the right portion and filling.
Would recommend stopping by.
The staff are friendly and helpful. And resilient (because my friend was initially rude). Very impressive.

Please go here!! This was my first meal in New Zealand after living in the UK for the past few years and the bar has been set high!! Everything was so flavourful. Highlights were the lamb and the duck tacos. We also tried all the desserts which were YUM. It’s a small restaurant so would recommend booking in advance.

Ragtag never disappoints. Great neighbourhood spot. Great service that doesn’t feel stuffy, makes it the perfect spot for everything from a casual date night to a special occasion. The food is thought out and perfectly executed. The chives are always cut to perfection
