THE SIREN CANTEEN
American/Mexican
Where in Northern
California can you
enjoy a taco at a restaurant nestled directly
under a lifeguard
tower? At The Siren
Canteen, of course.
Opened in the sum-
mer of 2014, this smart
beach shack perched
on the sandy shores
of Stinson serves up
burritos, burgers and
creamy Meyer lemon
milkshakes. Though the
food is solid, we think
the BYOW option with
a $10 corkage fee and
million-dollar views is
reason enough to give
this shack a shout-out
(Stinson). 3201 Hwy 1,
