Toledo was born in Mexico, where he started refereeing at the age of 15 in local school leagues. Later, he moved to
Southern California and continued working as a referee in local leagues until he made it to the U.S. Soccer academies. He was the referee for the
2008 MLS Cup, US Soccer hired Toledo as a full-time referee in 2007. Toledo was selected to referee at the
2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup. In 2017, Toledo was involved in a controversial situation when he refereed a friendly match between
Mexico and
Ghana, that Mexico won 1–0. Ghana's manager at the time,
James Kwesi Appiah, complained that Toledo was assigned to the game: "I was really, really shocked that in a game like this they would allow a Mexican to be the center referee when we were playing Mexico", despite the fact that Toledo had worked in the United States for decades. Toledo retired following the
2021 MLS season. ==References==
