WHY CHOOSE THIS RESTAURANT?
Actually, don’t choose this restaurant if you are after authentic Mexican. The Ragtag team is proud of being 100% not authentic and the joy of eating at Ragtag is to be found in the fusion of flavours from Asian to barbecue to pretty much global.

ABOUT THE CHEF
It took a spot on My Kitchen Rules New Zealand to give Dan Freeman the motivation to jump into cooking as a full-time career. And we are glad he did. Ragtag is his first restaurant and a tribute to the many thousands of tacos that he has served in various pop-ups and collabs across the years since his TV debut. He also worked the pans at one of our favourite Auckland restaurants, Alma, before taking on this venture, which is now in its third year and booked solid. Lucky for those that live close to Westmere.

ABOUT THE TEAM
Laid-back and casual are the feels and yet the floor staff won’t miss a trick. Just enough banter to let you know you are welcome and appreciated but never intrusive. They know their menu and deliver it with confidence.

Beer and wine are on tap and there are some beautifully presented cocktails to sip on.
