The Toston — Restaurant in Markham

This Colombian restaurant was amazingly well decorated. The owner of the restaurant serves us at above and beyond 5 star customer service level. They are super knowledgeable about the food they made and explained to you about each type of food delivered to the table, very patient and yet prompt in delivering the food to the table. The whole atmosphere takes you on a vacation mode. The music has added a super relaxed environment so you can really enjoy your time out for lunch or dinner. They are genuinely positively serving us all throughout the time of our stay. They even offered us a special Colombian coffee at no additional cost towards the end of our meal. They are the most wonderful genuine people who are more focused on customers rather than just about their business. They really cared about family values. There is absolutely nothing bad you could say about these wonderful people.

We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who love to be served at this highest level of respect and plus atmosphere of a true vacation feel restaurant. Hands down hats off to the owners of this restaurant. You are amazing what you do and your passion really showed in your restaurant experiences to us and the rest of...

Saw the other reviews before we even knew this place existed and thought (a) what's a Colombian restaurant doing here, and (b) that looks really good. Tonight we tried it for the first time.

We just ordered a pulled beef toston, send let me tell you, it was delicious. If you like authentic Mexican food, you will like this also. It's got a similar spectrum of flavors. The amount of meat that's piled on the crunchy green plantain fritter is very generous. You get your money's worth.

The staff are warm and charming and the setting has a unique atmosphere that highlights cultural elements of their hometown. It's not exactly a posh place, but it's clean and quaint. Not a lot of seating, so takeout might be your only option if others have beat you to the tables.

We will definitely be back again for more pulled beef toston plus some of the other menu items, like the Bandeja Paisa that the couple sitting next to us ordered; it looked really nice.

Highly recommended. Try it if you like mildly spicy, complex flavors similar to real Mexican. I hope to see them expand to a bigger location one day... but not too far...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Colombian gem, and I must say it was an extraordinary culinary experience that transported me straight to the heart of Colombia. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that set the tone for an unforgettable brunch.

The menu was a delightful journey through Colombia's diverse culinary traditions. We started with the empanadas, and they were a crispy, flavor-packed appetizer that left us craving for more. The Toston with pulled chicken was a feast for the senses, with perfectly cooked beans, rice and tender steak.

The staff's knowledge and passion for Colombian cuisine were evident throughout the meal. They were more than willing to explain the dishes, share stories about their origins, and ensure that every guest had a memorable dining experience.

The restaurant's ambiance was another highlight. The authentic decor, Colombian music playing softly in the background, and the aroma of freshly cooked food made me feel like I was in a charming Colombian...
