One of the best meals I've had in ages. Flavorful, creative, fresh. We had salad, pupusas, and paella. Service was also excellent. Don't wait, eat here soon!

The staff is exceptionally kind and helpful. Food was outstanding. Paella, papusas, tacos were excellent.

We came here for our anniversary dinner. Absolutely loved everything: food, presentation, service. What made it particularly special is having the chef/owner stop by to tell us about the dishes. We can't wait to come back!

The space and seating are uncomfortable. If you are seated next to a group of people who are coughing like they are about to die but are not covering their mouths then you are out of luck. The service is a bit over the top, we were called "mis amores" by our server which was kind of sweet and cute but also a little strange. It reminded me a bit of the old diners were you were called "sweetheart". It felt a little programatic. We asked some questions about the menu and unfortunately ordered two dishes were variations on the same thing, the Puposa. The first was delicious and kind of mind blowing. My previous experience with Puposas were heavily larded cannon balls that I used to eat in the Mission in the 1980's. This was of an entirely different caliber. It was light, savory and the cheese dissolved into the cooked dough. The two elements were elegantly blended into each other. But the second dish repeated too much of a good thing. So why the four stars? I was at a Bay Area three star Michelin star restaurant a week after visiting Guiso and I ate a "Rotello" that tasted very similar to the Puposa at Guiso. It had a similar delicious chewiness balanced between dough and cheese. Either the two chefs are surfing the same zeitgeist or one is influencing the other. It doesn't matter which way is which but Guiso gets a lot of points no matter its drawbacks in introducing some exciting textures, tastes and traditions to the Bay Area cooking culture.

Wowza!! This lace rocks my gluten free world! Fabulous flavors, robust dishes, local support with their wine list, winner all around! I can't believe I've slept on this beautiful restaurant for too long. We had the chicken tostadas, fish tacos, and beef skewers- all were delicious and flavor forward with meats executed perfectly. Inside is small, so we'd planned ahead with a reservation and I'm glad we did because it was cozy inside and I preferred that versus the patio seating which is also an option. I just couldn't believe how much of the menu is naturally gluten free and there are so many delicious options to consider. Truly a gem and pleasure for folks like myself that have restrictions with food but can feel "normal" in ordering so many options off the menu. I loved the open kitchen to see the action, that's always a nice touch, in my humble opinion.

El Salvadoran food. The fish tacos with mango salsa and pickled radish was cooked to perfection. Excellent blend of spices and flavors and was a great deal for $20 given that we were close to the Healdsburg Plaza. The papusa were just ok and for $16, I would skip it next time. The corn pancake dish was very unique and flavorful but a bit pricey at $34 for what you get. I feel like if you added some rice or additional veggies, it would have been worth the price. Smaller restaurant but very cute with friendly service.

Every time I enjoy a meal at Guiso, I think it's the best ever. Each meal has something special about it. The warmth of Chef Carlos and his staff are a consistent given. My favorite table? Of course. Starting with a glass of Cava and pan hot from the oven is a good move. My companion chose the fish tacos. Rock cod in lovely slices with greens and fresh tortillas. I chose the camarones borrachos in Grandma's guiso sauce. Big, plump shrimp, small roasted potatoes, a plate full of flavor. It doesn't get better!

There were 2 memorable dishes; the Octopus & Paella. The Chef/owner is a CIA graduate so the portion sizes were small for family style dinning. That said they were delicious $20 corkage, not bad as others at this level are charging more. Beer & wine only, no bar Reservations a must, place is small Service excellent
