Thanks to everyone that came to our magic little pop-up with the team Depot Oyster Bar & Eatery, it was a truly amazing experience cooking in the kitchen with Jack Stott and getting to serve some of our favourite dishes at Ragtag, in the most iconic restaurant in Aotearoa. Depot holds a special place in my heart and it’s been a massive influence on the way we cook at Ragtag, so an unbelievable experience. Loved every second. Even pressing 1500 tortillas… Thanks to Al Brown for welcoming us in and for running food & thanks to the amazing chefs & front of house at Depot for making the experience fun and stress free! Sorry that I made you all bring back any ice cream scoop that fell off the puddings. It’s all part of the fun aye ;)

Our duck tacos have been on the menu since day one & they have been iconic ever since! Made with a flour duck fat tortilla, crispy confit duck leg, beetroot salsa and a burnt onion cream, these moorish tacos are a flavour bomb you can’t miss out on! We are open 7 days a week so plenty of time to come in and try them for yourselves ###

Tis the season for some warming unctuous dishes on the menu! Our mushroom rice is served with mushroom XO butter, grilled mushrooms and a gooey soy egg, all mixed together to make a risotto like bowl of umami. Honestly love having a rice like this on the menu! Cheeky spoonful of this bad boy in a tortilla wouldn’t be a bad idea either. Perfect dish as the weather starts to chill out a bit and we get to turn the heaters on for you all! It’s quite nice sitting outside under a heater on a crisp night. But if you wanna be inside, make sure you book ahead ###

Our famous steak, stealing the show and making the grill work overtime! Served with “hot-sauce” a soy egg and Taipei butter inspired by our time . All served with duck fat flour tortillas to make the most dreamy steak tacos you’ve had, pro tip is getting a baby cos on the side to jazz it up ;)

Octopus tostada with caramelised onion mayo, chilli jam, pickled chilli and fresh herbs, all resting on a cheeky .co crispy tostada. Great to smash into and share about the table, or be like this one guy I saw, and eat the whole thing in like 4 bites by themselves. Wild times. Good luck out there.

The prawn tostada has been on our menu since day one! An ode to one of the classic street food dishes we tried in LA, tacos de camarón. We thought that the classic dish was similar to a prawn dumpling so we mixed it up and made our tostada like a Chinese prawn toast. A .co corn tortilla stuffed with prawn toast mix and fried till crispy, served with a sweet mayo and sour tomato vinaigrette to cut through the rich prawn. The dish kinda sums up our whole vibe, food that looks Mexican but tastes like anything but authentic Mexican food. 100% not authentic.

Meri Kirihimete!!!! This Christmas, let’s show some aroha to the small, independent owner-operators who give Tāmaki Makaurau the beat in its heart. Our hospitality industry is a tight-knit whānau, and every coffee, kai, and catch-up spent at local spots helps keep that community thriving. There’s real power in spending locally at places whose ethos you respect — run by like minded people working bloody hard to keep culture alive in this crazy little city! If you havent been to some of these amazing places, then make sure you head out and give them a try!
Support local, spend local, celebrate local. Ngā mihi nui!
