"The only fine dining restaurant on the Hermosa Pier, Palmilla serves up home-style Mexican food along with a top shelf selection of premium tequila. Sit outside and enjoy the ocean breeze or have a seat indoors and admire the beautiful design: hand-placed stones, eloquent light fixtures, and hand-carved tables. Make no mistake: their freshly made tortillas with honey butter is something you can't miss." - HYFN

"The joy of a Southern California fall is that the beaches are still beautiful — even if you need a light jacket at sundown. Palmilla is less than a block from the sand in Hermosa Beach, and its margarita — finished with Grand Marnier — tastes as clean as an ocean breeze. Order a round for pickup or delivery, and don’t forget the street tacos and guacamole." - Vox Creative
"Palmilla Cocina y Tequila is an Hermosa Pier destination for upscale, authentic Mexican cuisine – and as you may have guessed from the name, a stellar menu of tequilas available to sip or in mixed drinks. If you like a cocktail that mixes sweetness and spice, try the Pepino Diablo, a mouth-watering spin on the classic margarita, featuring CAZADORES, piquant lime juice, jalapeño, and cucumber, served like all great party-starters with a salted rim." - Vox Creative
"A meal at this upscale Mexican eatery on Hermosa Beach’s Pier Plaza starts not with chips but fresh tortillas, served with honey butter and salsa. As you munch your way through the seafood-leaning menu (lobster tacos are a favorite), do so with a margarita. The Palmilla is a hand-shaken mix of Tequila Cazadores Reposado and homemade agave-fueled sweet and sour mix, topped with orange liqueur. Sit inside the buzzing interior by LA-based Gulla Jonsdottir design group, or take a more relaxed patio seat and soak in the ocean breeze. Either way, it’s like going on a mini vacation without leaving home. The Cazadores Tequila-exclusive cocktail to order: The Pepino Diablo It may be the cucumber devil in name only — this variation of a jalapeño marg is balanced and just a tad sweet, thanks to the muddled cucumber and organic agave. We dare say you’ll want a second round of this fiery libation." - Vox Creative
