An Underground Recording Studio

Located dramatically beneath a trap door in the Downstairs Restaurant, this state-of-the-art audio facility was designed by Hotel El Ganzo’s studio manager/artist-in-residence Mark Rudin.

Culinary Delights

Lunch can include delicacies like shrimp ceviche, fresh seafood tacos and quesadillas and gourmet pizzas.
After dark, the Downstairs restaurant becomes a stylishly illuminated venue, where guests dine on mouthwatering gourmet entrees like lion paw scallops with cauliflower puree and Tlacoyo de pollo (chicken with corn milk, refried beans, cactus slices, Mexican Cotija cheese and pasilla chili sauce — believe us, it’s amazing). A small performance space adjacent to the dining area serves as the stage for visiting musicians to perform on Thursday and Friday nights. Oh, and the desserts. They’re especially tempting, with chocolate fondue, crème brulee and traditional Mexican churros among the treats that await.
