My god. This is the best place to get some authentic Mexican food near campus. I've been a loyal customer for three years now, and they know my order as soon as I step up to the counter: Al Pastor burrito plate on a spinach tortilla with everything on it and super spicy with a Horchata to wash it down.
With the burrito, you can get a flour, wheat, chipotle, or spinach tortilla. It comes with Spanish rice, refried beans, your choice of protein, lettuce, tomato, pico de gallo, sour cream, chihuahua cheese, avocado, and spicy or mild salsa. Be warned, the spicy salsa will kick your butt although it's delicious. The plate comes with a side of rice and beans, which are some of the best I've had in Austin. It's a lot of carbs, so I tend to save the rice and beans for another meal. The tortas are also a solid choice if you want to switch it up. The Al Pastor is seasoned beautifully and the steak is also a good choice.
The owners are extremely friendly and memorize your order if you come here often. Last semester, I came at least once a week, but I stopped this semester because of the increased workload of school. After a 4 month break from Burrito Factory, I stepped up to the counter and they greeted me like an old friend and remembered what I liked. That's the definition of customer service.
