    Vanilla Prickly Pear Swirl
    Debbie F.

    Sometimes a sweet treat is perfect on a warm day. Eating dinner next door and seeing signs for this small, walk up window completely caught our eyes. I went with a basic swirl soft serve that hit the spot. The consistency was perfect and never melted. Vanilla mixed with Prickly Pear (which tastes like Raspberry) was delightful. There is a large patio behind which was very relaxing. Bench seating, round tables, and rocking chairs were all available. Parking was easy and free right around the corner.

    Downtown Gilbert's favorite grab n go & soft serve spot! You can't miss this kiosk especially with that huge gopher on top. They're known for their burritos - Topo Locos chicken or pork burrito ($11 + $2 for brisket upgrade). Elotes with brisket, and their soft serve. But since I was visiting, all the locals pointed me to the prickly pear soft serve dipped in chocolate and man was that divine. It is refreshingly delicious and only for $5.50. I also tried their watermelon agua fresca. Friendly staff. Great service. Highly recommend this place. There's a huge patio with benches and lawn games in the back to enjoy your treats.

    I've driven by it dozens of times but until today I haven't had the pleasure. The lines are always long so I figured it was worth a stop. I chose the soft serve Prickly Pear. Then the young man taking my order suggested the lime dip when I asked which would be best with it. Good call. Nice combo. A nice area behind the shop that's shady and shared with the BBQ joint next door.

    I had been wanting to try Tapo after seeing an Instagram video that made the food look absolutely delicious. I finally decided to give it a shot and ordered the brisket elote and the Tapo burrito with pork. Honestly, I'm not sure what the hype is about. The brisket elote was $13 and was basically Frito chips with very little meat. For the price, I expected much more substance. The Tapo burrito was $11 and was mostly beans. Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough protein in either the burrito or the brisket elote to justify the cost. I'm pretty disappointed and, unfortunately, won't be back.

    Cute little shack. Great quality and prices! Lots of patio seating around. The burritos are huge and the dipped cones are delicious. The dipped cones are pretty messy so I would recommend extra napkins and maybe a bowl on the side! The workers are always friendly as well.

    Came for the prickly pear ice cream & it did not disappoint! I generally love picking up prickly pear flavored treats, so when I saw they had ice cream I knew I had to stop by. We swung by on a Saturday after grabbing dinner somewhere else, there was a line out front, however it moved quickly. Our party tried the brownie sundae, the prickly pear ice cream with chocolate dip & a prickly pear ice cream with orange dip. Plus, a family member ordered a burrito for later and I grabbed one of the new watermelon aqua frescas they were promoting. The prickly pear ice cream dipped in chocolate reminded me of the chocolate covered cherries that are popular during the holiday season. I thought it was delicious & I was happy with the amount they give you for the price, some ice cream spots over charge & give you the smallest portion. Everyone really enjoyed their ice cream, and it was nice there was seating right next to their stand. The only thing I didn't like was the watermelon drink I had ordered, it didn't taste quite right instead of the sweet watermelon flavor I was expecting it tasted more like the rind had been blended up & added to the drink giving it a bitter taste. I look forward to visiting again for their ice cream!

    Topo Loco Burritos
    Jori S.

    Genuinely one of the best burritos I've had in a long time! The loco version makes for some fun flavors inside- I definitely recommend! I really want to come back and try their elote and ice cream. The line for Topo is frequently long, so be prepared to wait but know that the wait is worth it! Also, the seating is frequently packed with it being right next to Joe's, but I've always been able to find a seat. I love this place!

    Stopped at Topo for dessert after a great dinner at Joe's Real BBQ next door. The line was long, but the wait wasn't too bad. The cashier/server moved very quickly and efficiently. Their current special cone is called "Joy to the World" - looks like a dipped cone with crushed peppermint. I went with the Prickly Pear Twist soft serve in a cup. It was so good! Tastes almost like my favorite ice cream growing up, raspberry vanilla swirl, but not tart. The texture was smooth and creamy. Don't be deterred by the long line - it's honestly worth the wait! They also sell elote and burritos if you want something savory. I've had both, and they're pretty good too!

    Great place for ice cream on the run. They have window outside so you do not have to go in to order it. They give you a large helping for only $4.50. It's large enough to share. They have outdoor tables to share your ice cream. Location in the center of town. Friendly staff.

    Prickly pear swirl soft serve Twist Ice Cream with lime shell
    Gabrielle S.

    I'm always struggling to find places to get great soft serve in Arizona... but this is the SPOT! I love their prickly pear swirl soft serve so so much. I will definitely take a detour into Gilbert just for the cream. It hits just right with the lime shell too!! Okay but if you can't eat it fast enough you should definitely opt for the cup and skip the cone unless you want a drippy mess

    prickly pear and vanilla swirl

    When it comes to Topo in Gilbert, I think it's fair to know a few behind-the-scenes facts. It is owned by the same people behind Joe's Real BBQ, Liberty Market, and Joe's Farm Grill, among others. So take a look and decide for yourself -- is this purely an opportunity to capitalize on a busy area by offering mediocre ice cream at a high price, similar to a tourist trap, or is it a genuine effort to give back? Unfortunately, I lean toward the former. I tried the prickly pear and vanilla swirl, which I found extremely sugary. I won't say more -- this is one decision you'll need to make on your own.

    My husband and I stopped by Topo for some ice cream and both got the twist with prickly pear and vanilla. I had mine dipped in orange, his in lime. Unfortunately, we ended up peeling off the dip--neither of us were fans of the flavor. That said, the prickly pear ice cream was delicious and definitely the standout. The service was friendly and fast, which made the experience even better. You can't eat inside, but there's plenty of spots to sit nearby outside. If we go back (and we probably will), we'll skip the dip and the twist and just get a cone of prickly pear on its own. Sometimes simple is best!

    I've heard about this place, and was on my list to try when I'm in the area. I had the TOPO Pork. I wasn't to enthusiastic about eating it. However, it took me to a food high that I haven't been to in a long time. What can I say, it was great. With the pork flavor, to the crunch. It was great. I'm looking forward for another visit.

    No, I asked a Topo employee the same thing about 2 weeks ago & he said they do not yet have a birthday offer.

It absolutely lived up to the hype! The surprise standout? The brisket tostada--sooooo flavorful and satisfying on every level! We also loved the sausage link, Mexi-Q twinkies (aka smoked jalapeños stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in bacon ), and honestly, everything we tried was a hit. For sides, we ordered Grandma's Calabacitas (a yummy squash veggie mix), roasted cream elote, and Julio's mac n' cheese (which I skipped, but the guys were big fans). We wrapped up this phenomenal meal with their GF banana pudding (they offer both GF and regular options), and it was seriously scrumptious--such a treat to have a gluten-free dessert that feels just as special! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. They double-checked that everything we ordered (minus the mac n' cheese) was gluten-free, which is always such a relief. It means so much when a place truly understands gluten and can clearly guide you on what's safe.
