You have waffles of every kind here and wether you are in the mood for something sweet or savory, Wahfles has something for every waffle craving.
I have a major sweet tooth, so you can always find me huddled in their sweet waffle section. With choices like creme brulee, Samoa, s’mores and maple bacon, the choice becomes very hard to choose from.

For breakfast I always gravitate towards one of their hearty breakfast burrito or the country fried steak. For lunch or dinner, you can’t go wrong with the pastrami melt or their massive cowboy burger.
Don’t forget to save some room for dessert, the pies are made fresh daily and worthy of a splurge and yes get that scoop of ice cream too.

Argo Mediterranean Grille
Argo is serving up some of the best Mediterranean food in La Verne. The food here is consistently great and is always chock full of flavors.
One of my favorite things to order is the chicken kabob plate. The chicken is always super moist and tender, the hummus is fresh and brimming with great flavor and the rice and the tzatziki are the perfect accoutrements that really puts everything together.
The combination of the food, the value and the service makes it one of the best restaurants in La Verne.

Their most beloved dish is the fish tacos, which are beer battered, then fried to perfection and served with cabbage, pico de gallo and their house cream sauce. I can’t get enough of their fish tacos and always find myself ordering more than my waistline would allow.
Their fish tacos are amazing, but so is everything else! Their pastor and carne asada burritos are bomb, their potato tacos are delightful and their Baja shrimp burrito is marvelous.
