I was in Los Angeles on business and decided to try this place after seeing the great reviews. I ordered online, which was super convenient, and picked up with not much wait. The filet mignon fajitas were tender and full of flavorful. The rice and beans were also well prepared, seasoned perfectly and a great complement to the meal. The location is amazing, with a great atmosphere that made the whole experience even better. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town!

We arrived around 5pm for dinner and there were not many tables sat. We were told at the host station that the only table was in the corner and was only available until 6:30pm – however we watched plenty of open tables remain through our stay that would have had a perfect view of the promenade and the sunset. Non the less, the appetizer of tortilla with honey butter and salsa was okay. The tortillas were the best part. The salsa tasted like the jarred stuff from a grocery store. We both ordered chicken enchiladas and the food arrived hot and well made. Nothing spectacular but well prepared. The spicy mango cocktail was delicious and so was their watermelon one. The server who helped us was very quick and attentive. There seemed to be a lot of “cougars” dining at this time. Located right on the end of the Hermosa Beach pier. Would be perfect for a quick bite to then walk up the pier to catch the sunset.

We had a wonderful meal here. Our fish tacos and enchiladas were great. Drinks were great too. Instead of the usual chips and salsa, we were served soft tortillas with three different sauces. Our server explained that we could tear the tortillas into pieces.

Palmilla made my 50th birthday celebration absolutely unforgettable! I hosted a dinner for 21 of my closest girlfriends and from start to finish everything was flawless. We partied and dined in their private dining room tucked behind the kitchen with its own private bar. Such a hidden gem!
Zena (Events Manager) was a dream to work with during planning. She helped with the menu, drinks, seating, budget, and even the flow of the night. I had a very specific vision (long toast + background music + slideshow at the perfect moment) and she went above and beyond, even letting me come in the day before to make sure everything was set up perfectly. She even followed up with me after the event to thank me.
JD (General Manager) was incredible and made me feel so taken care of all night (and the day before too!). He checked in with me throughout the evening to make sure I was happy and that everything was going exactly how I wanted. I truly felt like a QUEEN!
And DJ… WOW. He handled a very boisterous group of 21 women like an absolute pro and somehow managed to be our bartender, waiter, and behind-the-scenes magician all at once. He kept the drinks flowing, the energy up, and even jumped in with the music/AV/DJ duties to help my vision come to life in the moment (his name being DJ made it even better ). He was seriously amazing and took the best care of us!
Everything was soooooo delicious and all my friends are still talking about the amazing food and rock star service. Thank you to the entire team at Palmilla for making it a perfect night for my 50th!

One of the busiest and best spot in Hermosa combining great food with a young fun atmosphere and cool decor. The outside patio is usually packed and you should def get a reservation at peak times. Inside has really nice comfortable boot and nice wall treatments that stand out on the pier in a good way. You really can’t go wrong with the good here.. of the ceviche trio the cabo is our favorite.. being more of a traditional flavor. The shrimp taquitos are not only delicious but visually a great presentation. We have had tons of the dishes here and the seafood is wonderful as are the more traditional Mexican dishes and combination plates. The menu is pretty deep and the kitchen puts out great food pretty quickly even when its packed. This is one of our favorite places in Hermosa because it has such as great buzz and also excellent service, food and drinks. Has to be our #1 option on the pier.

Cool place and good food. I swear, they must only hire models as servers here. Incredibly friendly and helpful though, so can’t complain lol. The drink was great too – the cocktails are worth the price.
I’m not entirely sure how long it would normally take to be seated here because I met up with people who were already there, but it was verrrrrry busy so I assume the wait would be a while.

A very pleasant surprise. We went on a Sunday at noon with no reservation. We had planned to go next door but they were full. Palmilla gladly took us, and did not mind at all that we started with 4 people and needed to have 2 people join us later. Our waiter was fantastic – one of the best ever. The food was delicious, with not one thing even slightly off. For the LA area, prices were very reasonable and portions are big and filling. They definitely earned some repeat business. Well done.

The filet mignon tacos were so good, each bite was better than the last! Austin gave amazing service at the bar and the rest of the staff were equally as attentive and friendly! Got a good drink and some good food and I intend to be back!

Solid 4. Had a fun Saturday night with friends at this Mexican restaurant on Hermosa beaches boardwalk which was very busy and happening on Saturday. We sat outside in a semi booth with a fire pit which was very nice and cozy. The weather was great. The service was also great. We had their ceviche trio and guacamole for appetizers. They were great tasting but the ceviches was too small for all of us to get a good taste. I ordered the carnitas which the server also recommended. Unlike other places the meat is not shredded but rather is in pieces. It was good but as expected there were a few chucks of fat. It was a great deal at $28. My wife got the tostado which was huge. Overall the food was great. The ambiance is good too as long as you don’t mind the heavy rock music sound coming from across the street. This is quite a bit different than the Palmilla in Newport Beach which is more romantic.
