The Hermosa Beach pier is filled with rowdy bars and fast food stands, but Palmilla Cocina y Tequila is a little more dressed up. Suspender-wearing studs man the bar, where tequila flows freely and Hermosa locals sip on margaritas made with farmers' market-fresh ingredients. Authentic Mexican food includes queso fundido and sweet corn tamales, along with your classic fajitas, burritos and quesadillas.
