This location is my top choice because of their cup of corn and excellent customer service. The staff is consistently friendly, and one employee went above and beyond about one month ago and today Sunday morning, 5.18.25. Her calm and pleasant demeanor made the experience standout. Order: Small cup of corn Lime water base sorbet ( nieve de garrafa ) . This sorbet is a must try. They have many flavors and they will let you sample them. read more

I purchased a pint of lemon ice cream this morning. I opened it at home in the afternoon and my ice cream was not good. It tasted bad and half of the bottom tub was frozen with ice. I try to use their portal to submit a complaint and it doesn't work either. Very disappointing and don't think I will return. read more

The man that helped us was extremely welcoming and was very nice. I have a Gluten Allergy, i asked if he knew what may be gluten free regarding the ice creams. I'd like to note there ice creams aren't properly labeled and things look rather disorganized but i wanted to give them a shot. The man did not know so he asked a women with glasses and a bun and she was extremely rude and made me extremely uncomfortable instantly about my allergy. I paid for my mom and sisters stuff and left extremely disappointed in the service at the end. read more

I've tried many chamangos, and Tocumbo's chamango is one of my favorites! It's perfect for summertime--a refreshing mango-flavored shaved ice with chamoy and lots of tamarindo candies at the bottom. They are generous with the mango, which is great. My only complaint is that the mango is never ripe and always very hard with no flavor. Despite this, it's still one of my go-to spots for chamango. read more

This is not one of my favorite locations. Market location is usually my go-to. I recently went to the new National City location last week & that one was good too. This location just isn't it for me. I've been there 1-2xs. Parking is shared with other businesses. Workers seem whatever about their job. What's weird is they all share the same ingredients for other locations but this location for some reason just isn't good. From the ambiance, the quality, the taste, etc. Idk what it is. But I wouldn't come back here. read more

que mal servicio la verdad no atienden ala gente por estar platicando y comiendo y se ofenden si les dices algo

Been coming since they opened this location but the last two times I've gone with my family the workers are kinda rude and like stare you down all weird. We told the girl that we needed a minute to look at the menu and she kept pressuring us repeating "are you ready?". Made it an awkward experience so we just rushed our order. Keep in mind there was no one in line after us... read more

We were in the area and visited this place. Their chamango is amazing. Food servings were fairly large. The food was ok, nothing amazing (like the dessert was). I think it was a tad overpriced. We got two drinks and two entrees and it was nearly $40.. One thing that really annoyed me --an employee came over and asked if we needed help. He took y brothers order and left to prepare it. A lady then came and took my order and went to prepare it. Then, the lady brought us over to pay and I mentioned adding the other food on the same ticket. She then gives me a stale face and says "you were supposed to tell him everything so only one person helps you". They move so fast to don't really understand who's helping who and I didn't realize it was such a big deal... read more

Yum! visited Tocumbo for some Ice Cream and walked out with two aguas frescas. I love how fresh their juices, you can taste the fruit and the freshness. Truly delicious. Their Ice Cream was also very good, they have a lot of "extravagant" flavors (i'm personally not into those) but i know they can be big in the Mexican community (like the odder the flavor the more fun?). I got some of their strawberry ice cream which was pretty good. Large location, with friendly staff, and good ice cream and aguas frescas. read more

favorite spot ever! usually pretty quick and if their not it's cuz their busy. Always friendly. I always see different people working when i do go but always has been delicious and customer service is 11/10 when i do visit read more

Whoa. Whoa. MIND BLOWN. Gansitos line the edge of the ice cream display. There are paletas, elote en vaso, tortas ahogadas, and of course, nieve. It sits across from Chicano Park and Northgate Mercado Gonzalez. The surprise was the mangoneada which is mango nieve topped with actual mango fruit and drizzled with tamarind sauce... and it's delicious. I love that they have aguas frescas available as well! I don't know if their tortas are any good but I would definitely come back to try more of their paletas. Really nostalgic for Mexico and I'm glad that places like this exist. read more

First off the one star is for the nice young lady working the register I know it's not in her hands but the prices are pretty high for the quality and quantity of food is poor 5.99 for nachos that are stale and they give you like 1 ounce of cheese sauce on the side that didn't even cover less then a hand full of chips The corn in the cup was watered down and less then a 4 ounces of corn sad to say I feel I been ripped off I will not return la Michoacán is way way more better read more

3.5/5 just because every now and then, they mess up on simple orders or make something not taste as good due to adding too much or little of certain ingredients. Only other BIG issue is the homeless outside and the dirty nasty tables outside. Great little place to get an ice cream or raspado. The flavors are great and the food taste delicious. read more

I don't get the rave reviews for the chamango? Maybe I came on an off day? But it was nothing like any chamango I've ever had in Mexico or San Diego. It was basically a mango/chamoy raspado with underripe mango chunks on top. So the ice was super thick chunks rather than a smoothie texture. Tasted fine (other than the underripe pieces on top) but not what I would expect when ordering a chamango. read more

This is a decent ice cream/paleta/fruit/torta place. The menu does have variety, but on the down side it seems that their prices are a little higher than average. The staff is friendly and they do everything pretty quickly. I got 2 scoops of ice cream for 5.25. The ice cream was not as good as I've had at other locations....I got mint chip and walnut. Both had good flavor, not too little nor too much. read more

This place has some pretty good offerings. I stopped in looking for some Mexican chocolate ice cream flavored with cinnamon, and chocolate ice cream I found! I had the two scoop cup topped with chopped peanuts for around only $3. I was very pleased the way they were very generous with the scoops of chocolate ice cream and peanuts (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tocumbo-ice-cream-san-diego?select=SoS3x6mTg7cHX-TknfJiLg#SoS3x6mTg7cHX-TknfJiLg). The ice cream was smooth and had a good chocolate flavor, but it did not have as strong of a cinnamon scent and flavor as I was looking for, but it was still very good (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tocumbo-ice-cream-san-diego?select=SoS3x6mTg7cHX-TknfJiLg#mEhCXtI4I9mZ8tqvMngGZw). They don't have much seating inside, but there is some outside. Also, they are in the middle of expanding to include more inside seating. The sell more than just ice cream such as, fruit bowls and raspados an such. Nice ice cream shop with a Latin American Twist.. read more

My sister brought me here when I visited San Diego and, to be honest, I didn't think that it was going to be as good as it was! The colors and the presentation of the ice cream itself wasn't the best, but the flavor was definitely there! I ordered the lemon and guanabana and they tasted just like I had in Mexico. The other flavors that I tried were the coconut and mango...and oh my goodness... they were amazing! The coconut was out of this world and the mango tasted like actual mango, not artificial at all. I also tried the lomo torta that my mom ordered and it was good - not great. I loved that it was full of veggies but it needed queso fresco and/or crema! I would still order it in the future though - just don't expect a "typical/authentic" torta when you order it. It's definitely a healthier option which I completely appreciated. You can even order it on a wheat bread. I would recommend this place. read more

This seems like a place that gets very busy because they have a ticket system at the entrance. Even if there are a few people in the store, they will ask you what your number is, so get a number. Chamango - Thicker texture than a smoothie, the ice is not as fine. Okay compared to other Chamangos I have had before. More spicier & sour. Chongo - I was not sure what this was but I saw it was a highlighted item on Yelp. This is an ice cream composed of milk curd, cinnamon, & sugar. Definitely an acquired taste... & not similar to a Horchata flavor which is what I was expecting. read more

Lacking knowledge about their drinks, I asked to sample them. They were so generous. Each drink sample was about the size of a small ice cream that you would get from any other shop. I tried the coconut and the strawberry (fresca), and I ended up ordering the fresca to quench the thirst! It was tasty and a little milky, so it definitely had a bit of texture to the drink. My friends all ordered mangonadas instead of chamango. The workers were happy to explain what the difference is. Chamangos are mangos with crushed ice and that spicy Lucas like flavor mixed it. Mangonadas are made with ice cream instead of ice. It comes with a stick of the candy as well. Basically, it is a mix of sweet and and that tangy spice. I know a lot of people like it, but as appetizing as it appears, it's not my cup of tea. I like these flavors separate. I do, however, suggest that you try it out at least once! Overall, they have fast and generous service. The food is enjoyable. Parking is available in the lot! read more

Came here to try the ice cream based off a friend's recommendation. They have a variety of flavors that are unique and represent the Latino culture of Logan. The ice cream was very creamy and rich.

Today was the first day in a while that it's been hot enough to crave Ice cream. So I did my search from fellow Yelpers on Ice cream shops near the 32nd Naval Base. As fate would have it, led me to Tocumbo Ice Cream. Seeing the 4 star rating, I had to see it for myself. This place is definitely a hidden gem in the Barrio Logan area. Growing up in San Diego i've been a fan of Mexican Ice Cream. I'm so happy that there is a place i can go to that potentially trendy, but carries so many types of Mexican ice cream and desserts. This was only my first time going and i'm sure it won't be my last. Must try (if youre craving something sweet and fresh): Canastita Michoacana You pick 3 ice cream flavors and 2 fresh fruit topped with whipped cream and syrup. read more

New ice cream/torta place in Barrio Logan. Looks like customers come in more for the unique, Mexican flavored ice creams than their tortas or sandwiches. They also serve Tostilocos. If you've never had one, it's a Mexican street food that consists of a bag of Tostitos tortilla chips, pig skin or rinds, cucumber, jicama, Japanese peanuts, Chamoy and tajin. It's muy delicioso!! I love how the area is becoming more modern with new buildings and development. And this is located across the parking lot from Northgate. Nice place to come chill on a hot day or if you're feeling adventurous, you must try their Tostilocos! read more

While visiting San Diego, local friends recommended Tocumbo Ice Cream. And we are so happy they did! They have a great selection of ice cream flavors and the serving sizes are huge. The staff was very polite and patient with our group of six. The outdoor seating in the shade was a perfect place to enjoy our ice cream cones. read more

They have good ice cream and other things but the service is bad they don't listen. They don't help other people when they are right there

Do not come to this place ! They should be ashamed of themselves, I literally saw an employee grab the fruit with her dirty hand place it back on the cup of ice cream and then the other piece that fell on the counter that touch the dirty rag - she grab it and placed it with the rest of the fruit for other customers- GROSS!!!! This place has the worst sanitation ever !!! Food inspector please come and make sure they are up to code!!!! E- Coli for sure from this place - lawsuit waiting to happen!!!!

SO GOOD!! It reminds me of my childhood growing up in Texas. I love coming any time of the year but there's something specifically good when grabbing a watermelon agua fresca on a hot summer day. I LOVE this place. I usually stop by when I go to Northgate Market. When I'm a little home sick I'll drive down to Barrio Logan for something familiar. I'm not much of an ice cream person but they do have delicious options. I wouldn't leave until you try the agua fresca. read more

If you're looking for something different, try the Mega Mangoneada! It's heaven in my opinion. 70 degrees on a sunny day in San Diego is a perfect day for this sweet treat.

The waiting wasn't bad here. The noise level is loud because we had a hard time hearing and giving our order. The employee that helped us seemed annoyed, not sure if it was the noise, but still gave us everything right. To me customer service is everything, but seemed like he didn't want to be there, because of this I gave 4 instead of 5 stars.Everything was delicious and we asked for a custom smoothie and they were very nice about that. I had the mangoniada and the mango ice cream was perfect in taste and texture. My daughters had the sueños de cajeta and they loved it, they got to choose their own ice cream yet it wasn't too sweet. The Michoacána basket was supposed to be 3 scoops, but was way more than that. Caution this is a shareable item. read more

Absolutely AMZAING. -Friendly and Helpful staff -Wide variety of ice cream to choose from. - Inside and Outside seating - Food and dessert menus - Nice Location I was craving ice cream when I stumbled upon this gem. I'm always open to try something new and different. But this place surprised me with their Elotes ice cream. I was beyond ecstatic to try this flavor. I was amazed how they really capturesd the taste of elotes as ice cream. I also tried a scoop of mango(delicious) with a cream churro. It was a little piece of heaven. My only complaint was that it was expensive to say the least. $7 bucks for two scoops and a churro was ridiculous. Especially when you can get churros anywhere in S.D. for $1 dollar. read more

I hate to say this about a place that there were a lot of people at, but someone that comes from Arizona that knows what a good Raspado tastes like should say something. This place had the worst non actual fruit Radpado I have ever tasted. He didn't use real fruit like all other places use. It was like some syrupy concoction that got blended with some ice n water. Plus, I just dropped $7 for it and it went straight to the trash. I couldn't choke it down and I don't recommend this place for TRUE raspado people. My kids probably would've loved the sugar high and stuff, but heck no for me. I can not recommend this place. read more
