El Rosal Bakery is a popular spot in town known for its delicious tamales and Mexican treats. The tamales are moist, savory, and generously filled with meat, especially the green chicken ones. 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 decent prices. The bakery also 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 is also 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. Overall, El Rosal Bakery is a must-visit for those craving authentic Mexican flavors and tasty tamales in town.
