I've been eating their tamales since I was a kid! Great store
Amazing conchas! The woman at the counter was very kind and helpful. I’ll definitely be back to try the tamales!
Great little bakery with lots of choices and the prices are great

El Rosal Bakery is a cozy and popular spot in town known for its delicious tamales and a wide variety of Mexican treats. The tamales are moist, savory, and generously filled with meat, especially the pork and jalapeño with cheese ones, which some customers find huge and worth every penny. The employees speak both Spanish and English, creating a welcoming environment. While some find the tamales a bit messy and thick with masa, others appreciate the authentic flavors and reasonable prices. Fresh pan and super soft cookies have also become favorites, with customers often getting multiple items for a great deal. The bakery offers a variety of Mexican snacks and candies that are typically hard to find in Santa Cruz. Customers can't get enough of the tamales, often buying them in bulk to freeze and enjoy later. Some have even used them as gifts for their neighbors, who always seem to be pleased. The bakery's pan dulce, including conchas that are light and fluffy, is a hit, although some try to limit their sugar intake. The ambiance is easy-going and friendly, with ample parking and a clean appearance. While there may be some room for improvement in customer service, particularly in attitude, the delicious food and variety of treats keep customers coming back. On Sundays, there is a farmers market in the parking lot, making it a great place to grab something to snack on while enjoying the market. Overall, El Rosal Bakery is a must-visit for those craving authentic Mexican flavors, tasty tamales, and a sweet treat in town.
