Nancy Silverton Founding Owner of La Brea Bakery, Owner Pizzeria Mozza"I have a love/hate relationship with the Dal Rae. I love it because being in the restaurant business, restaurants can be too intellectual for me. Food has become so complicated. I don't like to go out and intellectualize over what I'm going to order all the time. At the Dal Rae, the food is so comfortable. It's very forthcoming, very straight-forward food. I always have the Hearts of Romaine Salad with the Old Fashioned Blue Cheese and the Pepper Steak. I hate the Dal Rae because I can't duplicate the Pepper Steak. I know what the flavors are, but it never seems to taste as good when I make it.”
Los Angeles Times"The Dal Rae Pepper Steak, Top 100 tastes of L.A. Often copied - never equaled."
Max Jacobson Los Angeles Times"Dal Rae in Pico Rivera has survived four decades by serving food that is rich, complex and surprisingly good…a flavorful blast from the past, and rich beyond my wildest dreams.”
Mary Tartaglione, Nightlife Columnist San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group"The Dal Rae in Pico Rivera is a throwback that never went out of vogue – a cozy room with a subtle charge of Vegas-like energy and excellent entertainment.”
Whittier Daily News“The Dal Rae is, if anything, an institution.”
