Toronto restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Coxwell Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

Came to visit right after the restaurant opened, skipped all the rush hours. The entire restaurant had a very homely atmosphere. Food was tasty and the portions were so great!! Food was amazing, we ordered guacamole to start and a veggie platter for two shared among the three of us and it was more than sufficient amount of food. The owner/server was so friendly and got everything very quick. Food was fresh and I would highly recommend anyone who wants to try authentic mexican food. It’s close to the subway and you will not be disappointed!

Food is excellent, but if they are busy, may be long wait for food. To avoid that, we usually get here by 6:30 pm. The chicken tamale very tasty. Sangria was okay. The meat platter for 2 very good, more than enough food. Friendly service, Thank you!

First off the location is easy to get to, being steps from Coxwell station and right on Danforth at street level. There's plenty of seating inside and the vibe is super colorful with many masks lining the walls. Price wise costs were higher than expected, but portions are very generous and dishes are heavy/filling. For example, at dinner, a meal for two combo was enough food for 3 people (we got the meat plate option). I liked that tons of fresh veggies/ salad was used for the tacos which tasted homemade and not greasy. The only qualm I had was with the beef being overcooked (dry and hard) for our beef tacos. Otherwise everything was great, flavourful and I'd come back!

El Sol is a great place to go to for authentic Mexican food on the Danforth. The food is pricey, but the portions are big. The staff are friendly, but the service can be slow when it's busy so ordering an appetizer is recommended. They only take cash/debit at this time.

Amazing find. Delicious authentic Japanese food! Udon broth was amazing. Tempura light and not greasy. Hot green tea and hot Sake were great too! The serving bowls, pots and cups were beautiful.

Food was served quickly and efficiently. Staff was very friendly and had no issues accommodating our dietary requirements. Always a great time at sunset grill.

Sunset Grill - if you want a decent, good breakfast with a throwback, cozy environment, then this is where you want to go. Located steps away from Coxwell subway station, this Sunset Grill is a local favourite spot. Like many similar places, Sunset Grill serves your standard breakfast fare. You get your eggs, bacon, sausage, coffee, choice of bread - you get the idea. What we go to Sunset Grill for though, are their home fries. These home fries are not the kind that come pre-made in a bag from your freezer. NOPE. These home fries come from real potatoes, cut, and done right on the stove. Bite into them and you can taste actual potato with that chew. I've been to a few other breakfast restaurants where the home fries taste more like that powdery stuff that comes out of the freezer - not my fave so Sunset Grill is the way to go for me. There are lots of different breakfast combinations to choose from. Show up before 10am and they even have morning specials so if you're an early bird, give that a go as well. Now, a few more comments about the food that we had. Overall, taste is what you'd expect - a good hearty breakfast. If you ask for over easy eggs, they will come to you over easy. Scrambled is scrambled. The breakfast sausages taste good - what you'd expect. Perhaps the only thing to mention is that the bacon is on the saltier side but definitely crispy. Bread - you get your choice of white, brown, or rye. Featured in the images is the brown bread. The restaurant itself is actually bigger than you'd think given the storefront. There are 2 levels and plenty of seating. At the time I went, customers could choose where they wanted to sit. Before ending this off, I have to give a shout out to the staff that work at this Sunset Grill. I've been a few times now and seen the same faces and they are a lovely bunch. Smiles for all the customers and you can tell they know who the regulars are. I have to say, I appreciate the atmosphere of this Sunset Grill. It's just easy, it's chill, and there's a bit of a throwback to times now past which I find nostalgic and homey. It may not be the most modern joint in the area but I appreciate its charm with good people and good food. They also serve omelettes and burgers which I plan to try next time I go. Give it a go if you're in the area.

Food was great, customer service was great and the place and bathrooms were clean! Went there with friends for brunch and we were all happy! Great local breakfast place. I had the omelette with potatoes, they were phenomenal ❤️

The eggs were perfect, the bacon just right, but I should have ordered the "thick toast" instead of the pumpernickel.

My first time at this pub/restaurant and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was just looking for a place to pass some time and have a quick dinner while my daughter was at work. The service was top notch. The food was all freshly prepared and delicious. I had the chicken on a bun with a side of Caesar salad. The wine was good. The atmosphere was friendly and seems like there are locals who frequent the establishment which is always a good sign! Turkey dinner is on the menu for Thursday for American Thanksgiving.. Xi might just have to come back!!

What a great restaurant TKO's is. The food is great, the atmosphere is perfect, and Mary is just magnificent. Their fries are freshly cut, and if you order them, make sure to get the gravy to compliment them, because it's fantastic! Thanks, Mary, for making our evening so fabulous. Cheers!

Went here for a leafs finals game - so happy we found this gem of a spot! Food is all apps/quick bites but went perfect with drinking. Mary runs the whole show herself - serving, bartending and making every customer feel super welcome. She takes the time to chat with everyone and make them feel at home, while running the whole show! We will definitely be back.

Excellent little spot on the Danforth. Good food and terrific for watching sports. The owner Mary is delightful. She makes every customer feel like the most important person in the world. If I lived in Toronto I'd be a regular.

Honestly, if you go to an A and W, it's a franchise so you know what kind of food you're going to get. It's fast food but for me, I like the quality of their standard burgers more than other places. I also like their breakfast options. What I have noticed though is that not all A & Ws do breakfast well. I've been to locations where my over easy eggs are overdone grey and my bacon doesn't exist. This review in particular is for the breakfast at the Coxwell and Danforth location. Images show one of their standard breakfast options with choice of eggs, bacon, and bread. I appreciated that my overeasy eggs were in fact, over easy! Bacon was thin (standard across this franchise) but it was cooked well and not burnt. Bread was up to expectation. What I appreciated is that the staff present that day were polite and professional and seemed to have a genuine rapport with one another and with customers. So, if you're looking for a quick bite that's relatively affordable, you can give this A &W location a try.

A&W is an absolute gem! The food is exquisite, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service is impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, making it ideal for any occasion. Highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience

I am a fitness coach, and it's really hard to eat delicious food while tracking calories and eating healthy. However, A&W is perferct as it not only gives me delicious food, but i can hit my daily macros as well. i love the staff service as they're so friendly to me. Will be recommending it to everyone who is on their fitness journey but wants good food as well.

I absolutely love the breakfast there however the best thing about eating there is the atmosphere. The warm greetings professionalism with the wholesome hospitality is so satisfying especially these days when everyone is not at their best in whatever aspect of life may be difficult. It’s also a place that can have the best meals and be able to do some reading. So if you want great food and a place to pull out your laptop and catch on some work or just enjoy a good meal, I encourage you to take time and visit you won’t be disappointed.

By now, I think most people are quite familiar with Subway and all the different types of sub sandwiches you can get. This Subway location is right near Coxwell Subway station, Coxwell and Danforth. I see mixed reviews and as with most franchises, I think it depends on when you go, who's working that day, and all those other factors. Considering all that, on my visit, the staff were professional and I received my subs in good order. Toppings were running low when I got there but staff had no issues getting more ingredients when I inquired. Featured in the images are the Canadian club and Italian BMT. As you can probably tell, we like a lot of vegetables on our subs! For anyone who has never been to a Subway before, you can choose the sub sandwich you want, choose the type of bread you want, and add vegetable toppings and sauces to really customize the sub sandwich to your liking. Subway also has rice bowls, wraps, and cookies as well. Not gonna lie, their cookies are pretty phenomenal (though not featured here). Some of their newer toppings are fun - try the fried onions. They add a nice crunch to the sub. This comment is for Subway in general and has no bearing on this particular location. One thing I get annoyed by is the way the Subway menu is now featuring certain sub sandwiches. Some of their classics like the Italian BMT are really buried on the menu. Overall, if you're looking for a quick food fix, you can try give this Subway location a try.

Posting this review a bit late. I visited on the night of October 24th, and both the service and food were excellent. The staff member who served me, Sahil (if I’m not mistaken), was very attentive. He treated me kindly and customized my sandwich exactly to my preferences.

Great friendly service at the Coxwell Subway with Jeel who made our sandwiches today. She was very careful about being clean washing her hands after using cash and returning to make our sandwiches. She asked how we would like them and all the toppings we would like. Putting the sandwiches together carefully so inside and sauce did not make a mess. Thank you for the amazing service ❤️ 🙏 😀

I visited Barburrito around 9 PM, and even though it was a little busy, the service was impressively fast. The food arrived warm, and the taste did not disappoint! The portion of protein was just right, making it a satisfying meal. I highly recommend trying their tacos—they were absolutely delicious! Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I would definitely come back again.

2.5/5 Ordered via SkipTheDishes and went to go picked up. My order wasn’t recognized in the system and wasn’t ready for it to be picked up. They had to make my order which took around 15-20 mins. They did apologize and gave me a Diet Coke, but made a comment and insisted I took a water bottle instead. It was a kind gesture regardless. Overall the serving size was pretty small and the meat was cold. I ordered the jerk chicken and the regular mild chicken but frankly they tasted the same. Their service did make up for it, but I would never be going back

While I didn’t eat here it’s a cute new place on the Danforth off Coxwell. Food was good, service was friendly. They had a deal on Uber Eats, buy one get one free for burritos.

It took a long time for this restaurant to get off the ground. I watched the front window for several months, looking for signs of occupancy and life. The product is very good, everything must be made-to-order; several staff members were present during my visit. I tried a pair of 🌮 tacos - they were rather lack lustre - the fillings were a tad stingy. The burrito was excellent - I chose shrimp for my initial order and visit. I switched to ground beef on my next visit and I wasn't disappointed. The entire restaurant is squeaky clean and all of the ingredients appear to be fresh and tasty.

We entered hungry and left so full, so happy and well cared for! The meat and veggie platter is excellent, best prices food you can get in Toronto at this point. The special tea is very nice as well, hope we come back here soon!

My first time trying Ethiopian food and I was very impressed. The food was delicious, so flavorful and a great variety. The service was excellent with a beautiful atmosphere in the back garden patio. I am definitely coming back!

Follow @bredgyeats for more food pictures! Meat Platter Combo of cooked kitfo, tibs, chacha tibs, split peas, lentil, collard greens, and three portions of injera. Kitfo was well seasoned and spiced, while the tibs had a much more buttery, aromatic flavour. Chacha had a caramelized onion and black pepper sauce which had lots of umami with a rich sweetness, and a slight lamb gameyness. All meats were well done so it was a little tough and dry. Injera wasn't overly sour either and was quite nice to eat.

I've been to many ethopian restaurants in Toronto and this one beats all by far. The taste, portion size (eat in), and flavors was not lacking at all. My go-to place for authentic ethopian food.
Anita R - 2 months ago

This is my second time here, but it won't be the last. We love the food here! We got tibs and the vegetarian platter. Such delicious, colourful, bright flavours in the veggies. The meat was tender and spiced perfectly. The owner and her niece are so kind. Thanks for everything! We will be back again and again!

Stopped in for lunch and so happy we did. The shrimp ceviche was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. We also ordered the Reina arepas and pork empanadas. Loved having so many gluten free options! Lattes were also amazing. Great service and cozy vibe. We will definitely be back soon!

Went here for lunch on a Saturday. Good ambiance, and they hv a tiny patio in the front but ample seating in the back. Staff is friendly and almost attentive. We ordered the pork with pickled watermelon arepa, and hibiscus & cauliflower arepa. The vegetarian arepa was good but the pork one was very soupy, and we had to get a change of plates as the liquid poured all over the plate and broke the bread. It was tasty but wud hv preferred more pickled watermelon to balance the flavours. Espresso was alright - machine needs better cleaning. A tad expensive in terms of value for money.
Namita Chaudhary - 4 months ago

Wow this place blew my mind how good it was. The regular sized breakfast arepa was outstanding! Those flavors and the soft texture of the filling was outrageously good! The sous vide chicken arepa (Reina) was, O.M.G. For dessert, you MUST have the Tres Leches Cake. I could drink this cake is how good it was. Service was friendly and on-point. Bookmarked this spot as a few favorite!

Our brunch at Pomarosa Cafe was a true delight. The staff's warmth and patience in helping us choose dishes made us feel welcome. The regular size Arepa and La Cupla were both delicious, showcasing the kitchen's expertise. The open kitchen concept added a personal touch, with chefs laughing and chatting. The cozy interior design created a charming atmosphere, making us feel like guests in a friend's house. To top it off, the hot chocolate with marshmallows was the most amazing one I have ever had. Its rich and velvety texture, combined with perfectly melted marshmallows, elevated the entire dining experience. Looking forward to our next visit – highly recommended for a delightful brunch, complete with unforgettable treats. ♨️🍫🔥
