My friend grew up going here often for a sandwich and/or treat, so she brought me here as my final lunch before heading to the airport. I'm sure I'll have to come back and try other pastries, but I ended up grabbing one that seems like it might have strawberry in it? I didn't ask questions so we'll see how that goes lol We also ordered the ham and cheese sandwiches which come with avocado and tomato. They also give you jalapeños on the side, but I happily gave those to my friend. I was stuffed from just eating the sandwich, which is why I haven't tried my pastry yet!

Came in for some pan de muerto for my co workers and students. I also got some mantecados for myself. The pan de muerto was pretty well received but I think may have been a day old. Overall not bad. The cookies were melt in your mouth buttery. Plus such a cute area. There are tons of pastries that one could gain some serious weight if not careful lol. Plus some other Mexican products to buy. I would come back here and recommend it.

Rosales Mexican Bakery on W 32nd Ave in the Highlands neighborhood. It's a small, family-run Mexican bakery and store with some of my favorite essentials when I'm craving something from back home. Their pan dulce is made fresh on-site, plus they offer tortas, tamales, salsas, Mexican candy, and more! I can't wait for winter so I can enjoy conchas on the regular. My Order: Conchas (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate), bolillos, mantecadas, carrot cake, cinnamon roll, sugar donuts, pineapple jam danish, cuernito con queso. Best Bite: Hands down, grab the conchas! They're flaky with a perfect sugar crust and super soft. Pro tip: you have to ask for them because they're kept behind the counter and sell out fast. Their bolillos are also a must-try, especially for a Mexican breakfast torta. Skip the cinnamon roll and carrot cake, but everything else was amazing!

I was in the neighborhood and popped in just to take pictures. I don't have much of a sweet tooth personally but if you have a craving for Mexican pastries check it out. It definitely smelled good in there.

I had a chance to visit this place as we were in the mood for an authentic pan dulce! It was suggested by someone else who I believe found this place through a list so we all visited Rosales for the first time. 05/10/2024 As we went through the bakery, you can smell the fresh baked aromas! We couldn't decide on the conchas, the empanadas, or even their elmo/cookie monster breads LoL We also purchased a budin (i may have misspelled it, but if you know, you know!) which is also known as a Capirotada. It had raisins and coconut! It was delish! I was saddened by the fact that they didn't have the puerquitos / cochinitos but the other bread made up for it. If in the area, I would definitely drive back there again just to be more mindful of the bread choices! The girl at the front counter just stuffed the breads into the bag and I felt sad because the breads kind of broke / fell apart thereafter, especially because the conchas had been kind of thrown in there by her as a second thought! Chocolate dust down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tasty local shop with a variety of freshly baked Mexican treats. There are so many good things to choose from- it's hard to decide. That said, I'm not sure you can go wrong. The other nice thing is that everything is pretty reasonably priced. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a stop. There aren't any tables though, so be prepared to take your cookies etc to go!

We're doing a tour of Mexican/Latin American bakeries in Denver and were told that Rosales was a must for our list and so it is! Colorful cookies and really tasty baked goods. Our featured sample was the tres leches cake. Made Mexican style, with a yellow sheet cake as the base, the flavor and texture was excellent and fresh strawberries added an excellent touch. Located in the near west side of Denver , Rosales is easy to get to and worth the drive if you're coming from the burbs.

I was in my "shop local" and "shop small" mood today. When this business came up in my "bakery" search I did a while back, for some reason, I didn't go. Whatever the hesitancy I had back then didn't exist in me today any longer so I wasted no time and hopped in my car. This is definitely a so-called Mom-and-Pop establishment. In the neighborhoods of Highland and Sunnyside where gentrification has become the norm these days, I appreciate a business that humbly exists without losing its true colors. Its appearance inside out looks old but they remain in their original state when it all began however many years ago. I like that, and I SUPPORT!! I absolutely had a hard time choosing which ones to get. Displays after displays of sweets tantalized me to the core. I didn't need to know what they were (I couldn't identify many of them anyway!! You can't be afraid to try something new and different, right?) so I placed whatever that caught my attention on the tray with tongs and headed to the register. A young lady greeted me in Spanish saying "buenos dias" which was immediately followed by "good morning " (she realized that I didn't speak Spanish; wish I did though!!) Some chicharrone pieces, one churro, and a square of some sweet pastry only came to $11 with some change. How reasonable! My purchase experience at this small business made me feel like I was in a very authentic store nestled in a town/city in Mexico. Churro was delicious. A bit of crunchiness on the outside but soft on the inside. It didn't disappoint me in any way! Square of pastry was also good! Tastes a bit like cheese cake but better than cheese cake. This is a dense cake but not too decadent with a bit of sweetness. Loved it! Chicharrone meat was good as well. It became a nice accompaniment to the salad I ate later. Next time...I'll definitely grab a bag of tamales. They looked so good!!

If you're looking for an authentic Mexican bakery look no further! This is the best of the best. So many options to pick from, even the best tamales I've had since moving from Los Angeles 11 years ago. The prices are very fair, I got 2 large bags of pastries, and only spent $19.00. There is street parking, which can fill up quickly but at least it's not metered.
