Our Roots
From a Palmer kitchen to the heart of the Last Frontier.
Dalia's isn't a story about a condiment. It's a story about a family who carried Latin heritage 4,000 miles north — and built a food tradition that's now woven into the fabric of Alaskan summer.
- 1984
Palmer Origins
Dalia begins blending her family's Mexican recipes in her Mat-Su Valley kitchen.
- 1992
El Perico
The family booth becomes a local favorite — the start of a 30-year tradition.
- 2000s
State Fair Legend
Our Red Gate booth becomes a mandatory summer stop for thousands of Alaskans.
- 2016
