The Toston - Markham

Toston is a delightful Colombian spot that serves a wonderful version of fried plantains, akin to pizza—hearty, flavorful, and healthy. The couple running the place, Christina and Chef Alex, are incredibly friendly and welcoming. My only disappointment was that Christina seemed to forget her promise of free Colombian coffee for first-time customers. We enjoyed the coffee but ended up having to pay for it. Hopefully, they’ll remember the coffee offer when we visit again!

Alex and Christina are truly exceptional—so friendly and inviting! They were incredibly helpful in navigating the menu. The restaurant has a lovely charm, with decor and ambiance that are spot on. The food was incredible, bursting with flavorful aromas, thoughtfully chosen ingredients, and delightful combinations! I can't wait to return for more. The pulled pork was fantastic!

I had my first experience with Colombian cuisine, and it was incredible! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, and the staff took the time to explain the menu, making us feel very welcome and guiding us in our food choices. The hospitality was exceptional, and the atmosphere felt truly authentic. We also tried some local drinks recommended by our hostess, which added to the experience. Overall, it was a fantastic outing, and I would highly recommend it. I even took some local chocolates to go for dessert—they were delicious!

The food was amazing!!! The owners were very kind as well and took the time to explain the menu to us. We ordered the pork belly meal which came with salad and we also ordered a side of fried plantains. We will definitely be back soon to try the rest of their menu.

The food was delicious but the services was definitely 5 stars. The salsa to eat the fried cassava very delicious. And the fresh maracuya and lulo juices reminded us of home. Great place to try Latin American food
