Huarache Xpress

Heartache Xpress is a hidden gem tucked away in the Simi Valley Town Center. The food is truly authentic and extremely tasty. Offering a wide variety of Mexican dishes such as gorditas, sopes, and pupusas. The asada was especially tasty. The staff was friendly and there was a pleasant family vibe. If you're looking for an authentic taste of Mexico, visit Huarache!

A bit hidden away but worth finding! Great service and amazing food! Had the mole enchiladas and carne asada tacos and both were authentic and delicious! You can tell that the management and staff take pride in what they do!

I love the service and food. I gave it 4 stars because it was cold inside. I did not say anything to the owner, so that was on me. I am sure that they would have tried yo accommodate. Seriously fantastic mango margaritas! And everything I've tried is delicious. If you are in a hurry order ahead because it is made fresh. Otherwise, order a margarita and stay and enjoy.

UPDATE: Haurache Xpress is not there anymore. It’s now a Salvadoran restaurant. Completely different food. Bummer 😩 This place was AMAZING! The meat was fantastic. Everything is homemade here. It’s a little tricky to find. Go to Red Robin and then walk back and take a right. The customer service was great!!! We came in a little close to closing after an event and they treated us so kindly. Please please support them!!! I can’t wait to go back!

Willie made recommendations, and the popusas were delicious. I felt like I was in a small town far away. Simi Valley is growing up.

The service I received at Huarache XpressMusic was amazing. The food was fresh, very authentic and delicious! I had the mole enchiladas and they were seriously some of the best I ever had. They also threw in a bunch of extra salsa which was nice. My girlfriend and I will definitely return to this place. Highly recommend!

I was honestly on my way to get my eyebrows done on the far end of the mall but hit the brakes and parked on the opposite side simply cause I saw their sign that said Authentic Mexican food by the parking lot. Food was delicious. Salsa and condiment bar was on point. Everything was flavorful and perfect portions. It is a bit on the expensive side but well worth it. Restaurant is clean, service is fast and friendly, drinks are strong and food is, again, delicious! I am worried that since it is in the Simi mall we might lose such a delicious treat. Also, it's not set in the best location of the mall but well worth the walk across the mall.

This has become our go-to Mexican spot since moving into the neighborhood. My husband and I absolutely love it. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it’s the perfect place to unwind. They even have a kids menu for our daughter, which makes it an easy family favorite. A true neighborhood gem we’ll keep coming back to!

By far this is the salvadorean cuisine in town. Best pupusas always fresh made to order.

I literally never do reviews but the asada fries here are unmatched. I started writing this review after the first bite. Every single aspect of these fries are so good like if y’all are gonna do anything in life it should be to get these fries stg. I’ve been trying to write this review for like, 10 mins I can’t stop eating this shiii 10/10 recommend. Even the girly that was working in there was hella nice 🫶

Food is delicious, portions large. Burritos big enough for two. Hand made hard shell tacos soooo good. Chips and salsa yummy. Outside patio seating at the Town Center. Nice atmosphere and great friendly service.

Friendly staff, quick service, nice outdoor seating area if you like... A variety of good tasting salsa at the salsa bar, with a variety of hot sauces too if you prefer. Food was really good. If in the area will definitely go again. Last but not least. Would I recommend this place to a friend??? The answer is yes.

Our first time here and overall a great experience. The homemads corn tortillas are Excellent! Rice also amazing. Shredded chicken a little tasteless but not at all dry, just needed seasoning. Hubby loved the beef. Oh stop by Saturday night for karaoke!!

Food was salty. Nothing authentic about this place. We have tasted better Mexican food around Simi. Took 20 minutes to get our food during non peak hours. We didn't get our food we ordered and had wait for another 10 minutes to fix it.

Had food delivered for Mother's day. Had decent reviews. Decided to try them for the first time. Ordered a Tri color Burrito. Looked like a specialty of the house. Web site was priced at $13.95 Charged us $17.95. Mother's day. Looked beautiful when received our order. Took off the plastic top and noticed black on one of the 4 skinny slices of avocado. Flipped over another then another all large black spots. Looked good though. Cut into 1/3 of the large appetizing sauced Burrito. I ordered Carne for meat. Saw 1 little oversized crumb of beef. Tons of rice a few beans and completely non eat able all chewy grizzal just like a rubber band got stuck in my teeth. I don't know for sure but as split the Burrito length wise to search for meat :(carne): Looked some little pieces all grizzled like cut away pieces of a cheap piece of meat. Thin like paper. Or cut away leftovers from a Carne plate kept and reused. 2 tortillas one on top of the other smothered in nice tasting red sauce. Ordered guacamole used a little bit and looked like the black avocado was stirred in this delectable dip. Oh well. Maybe it was Mother's Day and the staff didn't really want to be at work. Anyway, My stomach is gurgling. I hope this isn't because I ate the rice inside with red sauce. Pealed off the massive amount of tortilla. Salsa seamed okay.! Yeah! Chips like store purchased but still crispy and tasty. I apologize for the poor review after seeing almost 5 star reviews. With Mother's day and no complaints allowed was the table rule. I had to sneak away to write this. Not the best Mother Day food but after all chalk it up to things not to order on Holidays. Signed, Dissatisfied and a little bit frustrated and hurt... P.S. No disgusting photos were added to this review.

I bought a dozen of pupusas for $64, they’ve been the worst pupusas I’ve had. Not sure why they’re attempting to make tortillas filled with your choice of stuffing. It was like eating a burn dry tortilla. I had hopes for finding a good pupusa place near home but I guess I’ll keep driving to the valley for them.

I used to order from this place all the time and the food was one of the best Mexican Food places locally. However recently I've noticed the quality of food has gone way down. The food is always bland and has no flavor at all. I heard supposedly they changed ownership, I'm not sure if that's true or not, but not worth the waste of money anymore. I've tried giving them several chances. The Asada meat has been rubbery, I recently also tried their carnitas which were nothing special. Today I decided to give it one last shot and ordered chicken tacos with a side of rice and beans. The chicken has no flavor and the side of rice came crunchy and hard. Will never order from this place again.
