/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "AHS" (as in "art") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "peh" (as in "pet")/
To be completely full, maxed out, or packed to capacity. In Mexico, "hasta el tope" applies to anything that has reached its absolute limit: a metro car with no more room, a stomach that cannot take one more bite, or a schedule that is completely overloaded.
“The metro is packed to capacity at this hour.”
“I ate until I was completely stuffed, I can barely breathe.”
