This was my first experience at Topo, and with a long line, one might assume the wait would be worth it. We stood in line for about 45 minutes in 100 degree weather, with my poor brother hyping up the prickly pear ice cream being worth it. I enjoy new experiences and don't mind paying or waiting, if the experience is worth it. By the time we finally got to the front, the cashier was about to pump my ice cream out of the machine, and the guy doing the "pick up" literally stepped in front of her to make two ice creams. And then, what do you know, "I'm so sorry, but our prickly pear ice cream isn't working. We just got a new machine, I don't know why it's doing this." You only serve two flavor options, and your business is ice cream, and your machine doesn't work? The point of a limited menu is to keep your line flowing smoothly and to promote your best product. The sad part is during our very long, hot wait, there were maybe 3 separate groups of people who walked by and laughingly said, "oh, they're waiting in this line for ice cream?" Yeah. After my wait for VANILLA ice cream, I do feel like we deserved to be laughed at, I certainly feel like an idiot for waiting. You would highly benefit from opening your other window to serve more customers, rather than just leaving it for "pick up". I know there's an appeal to a long line, but when it's for vanilla soft serve, absolutely not. It's most certainly not the employee's fault, but I'll never get that time or money back, so I will not be returning. read more

I was actually going to eat at a Mexican restaurant across the street when I turned around and saw that giant beaver-like rodent wearing a Smokey the Bear hat, toothily grinning at me. Turns out this fella is a gopher! Luckily, this rodent was not the terror of a local golf course, nor did it dance away amidst some exploded smoking debris to the tune of "I'm Alright." The menu is succinct but offers some tantalizing eats. The choices: burritos, elote and soft serve, in intriguing flavor combinations. Since I'm getting a burrito from a Paul Bunyan sized gopher might as well go full loco by getting the Topo Loco Burrito, amirite? This mighty wrapped wonder has your choice of meat (Pork or chicken),beans, elote, Fritos, hot sauce, cilantro, cheese, and tomatillo crema. I opted for chicken. The burrito was a fairly big size, and I loved the mix of flavors and textures. The chicken is shredded, and the inclusion of Fritos added some extra crunch in an otherwise soft textured burrito. If you're a fan of cilantro they chop up large pieces in your meal. Service was equally as succinct. I placed my order, it was ready in a few minutes, then I was ready to enjoy! There is spacious outdoor seating next to the building with shade. As for Covid precautions, the employees I saw here wore masks, and when I was here they only opened the windows when a customer stopped by to order and when a meal was ready to drop off. With soft serve flavors like prickly pear, I know I gotta go back to try some sweet treats! read more

Ok... I had a short amount of time before heading to the airport to fly home. We squished in a quick trip to try Topo. We heard they had prickly pear ice cream! We are so glad we ventured!! We all got a cup of prickly pear ice cream and 2 got the chocolate dip, 1 got the lime dip and I wanted to do the prickly pear dip. They were all very different, but my favorite was mine with the prickly pear dip! It had almost a white chocolate flavor and really added to the ice cream. So good! Overall, I'm glad I don't like nearby or I would be there everyday! I would highly recommend getting some if you are nearby! read more

Such a great small place. I ordered the topo loco with chicken it was so good it was spicy and tasty, it had corn and even frittos. I have not had a burrito in a long time. I flew in to Phoenix from San Antonio. My best friend loves this place. The service is great fast very busy little spot. I even got to try the prickly pear, ice cream dipped in lime. The prickly pear lemonade was so delicious on a hot day. read more

Topo - Topo Loco Burrito prickly, pear, lemonade - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Topo is a great little secret in Gilbert. Most people seem to go for the Ice Cream, which is wonderful. However, they also have burritos which are excellent for lunch. read more

This review is for the burrito they make. The Topo Loco has chicken or pork, beans, corn, elote, Fritos, hot sauce, cilantro, cheese, and tomatillo crema. It is contained in a giant tortilla. I ordered mine with the pork. The pork is smoky and seasoned nicely. The sauce works well with the meat and beans. The best part is the Frito chips. This adds another texture level. The crunch is unique, making this one of the best burritos I've ever had. read more

Topo - Topo Loco burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

The Topo Loco burrito was DELICIOUS! The burrito is just the right amount of spicy and savory to leave your mouth watering. The server told us to get the chicken as our meat for it and it was great! The wait for the food took a while, but they have ping pong and corn hole in the back area to keep you entertained. There is plenty of outdoor seating for large parties and small groups. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. Next time I'll be trying the elote as it looked very tasty. The prices for items are not unreasonable at all. read more

After dining across the street, one morning at Liberty Market, I remembered I promised my son who is three, ice cream this weekend. I looked at my phone and saw there was soft serve right across the street. That's exactly what we wanted. Just a regular, vanilla, soft, serve in a sugar cone. Then I looked up and I saw it's actually right across the street. I didn't have to look at my phone I just had to look up. We walked across the street and there was a very little line. We were helped in one minute of waiting. We also paid, got our ice cream in 30 seconds. Service is very fast. They don't have a ton to choose from. They also have other menu options such as burritos, and other food items. What was cool is that they have a large, outdoor area to take your food over and eat. We found a little picnic bench that we sat at to enjoy our ice cream. Of course, even in March you have to work fast when you're eating ice cream out of a cone. They have cornhole and games for the kids. Environment is very fun. I would come back here because the ice cream was delicious and the prices were reasonable, the environment is fun. read more

I've only had one thing here ever, and that's really all I need -- the bean and cheese burrito, loaded with TONS of their salsa (added by them). They have a pick up window at this teensy spot, which is hilarious since it requires employees to rotate about 12 inches from where you order :) The ice cream cones are a real popular item though I've not had one myself. Solid choice with the hilarious building design! read more

Soft serve ice cream is good. I recommend getting it dipped in chocolate. I got the swirl of half vanilla and half prickly pear. I would go with full vanilla next time. Prickly pear flavor was okay. They don't let you sample and I was basically laughed at when I asked, which I thought was rude. So I took a risk getting some of the prickly pear flavor. Overall, it was good ice cream and I'd get it again because I liked it dipped and it seemed fresh/quality ingredients. read more

Food 3/5 The prickly pear flavor is fruity and bright. I expected it to be more sour but that may be a personal preference. The vanilla flavor is average and reliable. I wish they would offer more flavors. However, the dipped shell flavors also include prickly pear, which is quite unique. read more

Topo - Orange dip for hot summer days is a win! Limited time option - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We drove this town and spotted this cute ice cream stand (we find out when we walked up that it has more than ice cream), and decided we had to have some on this very warm day. In these Covid Times, we loved that we could order and pick up at the take out window and we could pay contactlessly. We can't specifically for ice cream, so that's all we had, but they do have elote which was cool and also burritos. There are only two flavor options for soft serve ice cream, Vanilla or Prickly Pear, or Twist (swirled). It's $3. If you would like it dipped, it's only 50 cents! Thank you Arizona pricing . This is cheap to a Californian. The dip options include Lime, Chocolate or Prickly Pear. I opted for Twist with Prickly Pear dip. The dipped Prickly Pear shell was thick and chewy. It was good, but it also made me not taste the ice cream so much. I really wanted to taste and enjoy the Prickly Pear ice cream, so if I ever ordered it again, I would skip the dip. The prickly pear ice cream was sweet and juicy. I probably would just get that, not twisted to really get the most out of the flavor. My husband liked his more traditional cone too. Two thumbs up for us. read more

First of all they have the best prickly pear ice. I know what I'm about to say no more really cares but I have had a bad time. The last few days boyfriend broke up with me. I'm about to be homeless. My birthday is 22 October and I'm just tired. I lost my husband to suicide three years ago and I just don't see a way out. Going to get ice cream last night was away for me to just relax and not think about anything but how good this ice cream taste in my mouth and not worry for a minute but going there made my situation worse. The lady who waited on me was rude not kind at all. I asked her if I can get 2 prickly pair of ice creams to go. she handed me the first ice cream and I said to her I wanted to go she said would you please just pass her2 lids. She made me feel so uncomfortable customers behind me looking at me all strange I was so shaking. I couldn't even get the lids put on the ice cream she then said oh you didn't pay. I tapped my card again, but without experience just really showed me that maybe my life isn't worth it. It made me feel lower than ever. I didn't even eat my ice cream last night. I just cried myself to sleep. read more

Topo . . . So so. . . Food--slightly above average Service--no complaints Ambiance--none to speak of So we popped by to try Topo today before a movie. Topo has a very focused menu which I like--just a few choices keeps costs down and assures consistent food prep. Service was prompt and friendly as was the food prep. Wife had a Topo Loco chicken burrito which was fine, she said. Not great, not terrible. But it was messy. More on that in a moment. I had the Topo Bean and Cheese Burrito. Tasty, certainly worth a re-order but it was messy, too. The mess factor was real--bean burrito leakage is no joke and the same can be said for the aforementioned chicken burrito. It's a good thing this was not a first date, you know? So we could have used a few more napkins, a fork too. I think I'll skip another visit to Topo. read more

Full disclosure, the only thing I have ever had here is the ice cream. They also sell burritos and some other items, but I haven't tried them. However, all you need is their ice cream, a twist cone with prickly pear and vanilla is the perfect cold treat. The prickly pear is a bit tart but the vanilla perfectly compliments and the visual of the bright pink ice cream intertwined with the white vanilla is beautiful. You can get a hardened dip on it as well which is fine, but I love it just as it is. If you like an ice cream cone you can't go wrong with this fantastic spot in downtown gilbert. read more

Love there chicken burritos and the ice cream is amazing especially the prickly pear flavor

Very yummy! Great little spot in the middle of downtown. The ice cream, elote, burritos... SO GOOD

Have you ever heard of Prickly Pear? Me neither, but I got the chance to try it at Topo while walking around Gilbert's Heritage District. I tried their signature dessert-the Prickly Pear Soft Serve. Made from the fruit of the prickly pear cactus, this unique and refreshing treat is a must-try if you want something unique. It tastes like watermelon! It's the perfect way to cool down on a nice day while strolling in downtown Gilbert. read more

I will order anything from a window!!!! It just tastes better! My husband and I both ordered the Topo Loco Burrito and we loved it. Great taste, the Fritos add good crunch and flavor, and the burrito was a good size. I want to come back and try the elote and prickly pear ice cream. Quick service and really cute little building. We ordered on a rainy night so we brought it back home but there are tables and chairs around outside to sit and eat. Topo is in the heart of Gilbert so it's in a great location to walk around. Highly recommend! read more

Every once in a while I desperately need a cone of soft serve ice cream and unfortunately for me, there are barely any places that have soft serve in the valley! I've followed topo on Instagram since they first opened but tonight was my first visit here! I got prickly pear dipped in chocolate and my husband got vanilla dipped in chocolate. They were both so delicious, we really enjoyed them! It was a ton of ice cream too, good place for if you want a big dessert. The burritos sounded amazing too so I'll have to come back for one! Love the character with glowing eyes too, made it easy to find. read more

Has Topo considered adding a fast pass option to bypass the line? Jimi would buy it to get first crack at that ice cream. Soft serve doesn't just describe Jimi's tennis game, it also is a style of ice cream that Topo has mastered. Be warned they have thick cheese in their burrito. 5 stars read more

Small menu done right! We have stopped by twice after eating in downtown and love this little ice cream stop. It's a walk up, so you are served right away and can sip and enjoy. The ice cream has only a few flavors, prickly pear being our fav, and you can get a few dip options as well. It's a huge ice cream for the price and who doesn't love soft served? We will continue to come back when enjoying a night in the downtown area. It's a great place to walk with families or dogs. Highly recommend stopping by Topo on your next venture downtown! read more

Heard about this place through instagram, obviously, and it's safe to say it did NOT disappoint. The Topo Loco brisket burrito was actually unbelievable. I will recommend this to anyone going to the Phoenix area. The space is also so good for families. We have a 1.5 year old and he loved being able to run around after dinner before ice cream. Their ice cream was also SO good! read more

Topo - Topo Loco Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Take out only, card only operation and some unique tasty SPICY burritos. If you're a fan of Joe's BBQ smoked pork then the Topo loco pork burrito will hit the spot. Fair warning this burritos are spicy!!! If you can't handle a lot of spice (like me) you'll be heading back for a delicious swirl of ice cream to cool your mouth. The burrito has delicious pork, spicy Elliott corn, and a fantastic crunch with the Fritos! A fun place to switch up a burrito, sit on the back patio of Joe's BBQ and enjoy the beautiful weather we're having! Next time I'd ask how I can change the burrito to reduce the spice level- but we'll be going back for another tasty time and definitely saving room for ice cream. read more

For the soft serve alone: 5 stars. I would def go back again and again for the prickly pear swirl! The burrito and elote were decent, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Just personal preference. If I was still in my 20s and a little buzzed, it would probably taste phenomenal late at night, hah! read more

"In the spirit of the great American road trip and iconic architecture, Topo serves delicious grab-n-go burritos, street corn, & soft serve." ― topoarizona.com Downtown Gilbert is a very cool mix of old and new. And within that, you have Topo, a local fav! Es muy curioso que usaron ese nombre - pero es el nombre perfecto para este lugar! I kept hearing my peers mention Topo. And anytime I would drive by downtown Gilbert I see the cute gopher as I drove by. I finally made my way to Topo and of course, I had to try the Pricky Pear soft serve! As an AZ native, I was extremely excited to try a soft serve in that flavor and let's just say they did not disappoint. It is a bit on the pricier side, but, you are paying for what you get - and that's good quality and taste! I will definitely be coming back to try their burritos and other comida! read more

Great burrito but very heavy! I recommend trying for the experience, but definitely be ready to split with one or two people. The bbq comes from the spot next door and tastes great. Did not get a chance to try the ice cream because we were so full but will make sure to stop by again if we are in the area. It's a very small spot with seating only outside in the bbq spots' area. read more

I really wanted to love Topo. We planned a visit for my kid's graduation celebration on a Thursday evening. We were all very excited for this treat. I ordered three ice cream cones and asked for two of them to be made smaller for my kiddos. The guy said no problem, turned around and made three cones sky high. Normally I wouldn't complain about extra ice cream but 1) it was so hot the ice cream started to melt right away, 2) The prickly pear flavor was underwhelming and 3) it was way too much for us to eat so we ended up wasting more than 1/2 of our ice cream. I also ordered 5 burritos. Two Topo burritos with no beans or salsa for the kids and three chicken Topo Loco (no special requests). Three of the five burritos were made incorrectly. The Topo burritos were not made as requested and were too spicy for my kids to eat. One Topo Loco didn't have chips and only had salsa on one half. The Topo Loco burrito that did have chips was pretty tasty. Very spicy but I like spice. I recommend sharing since it's pretty large. Not sure what is going on with the staff here but I will likely not be returning. I feel like I wasted $52 but we got some cute photos and the kids had fun playing so I'll give it 2 stars. read more
