  Yuuuum! You get so much food for the price! Always fresh, always hot off the iron, and always tasty! I get the burritos and mini burritos when I visit.
  
  The red sauce is spicy. (I always order the red sauce.) The green sauce is not spicy.
  
  There's also horchata, mango, and other aguas frescas.
  
  It's a nice atmosphere and the staff is QUICK! There may be a short line when compared to other shops in the mall, but it goes by quickly.

  Burrito Factory is the current gem of the Dobie Food Mall.
  
  That title used to belong to Vert's Kebabs.
  
  Vert's wisely got out of Dobie Mall.
  
  Samuel C's prediction is that some day Burrito Factory will do the same.
  
  The place is just too good.
  
  * * *
  
  Burrito Factory gets about four times the business of any other establishment in Dobie Food Court.
  
  When I was there, the Nepali and Middle Eastern place were getting no business at all.
  
  The bubble tea place was getting some action.
  
  Three out of the eight food stalls were empty, unrented or permanently closed.
  
  In contrast, there were long lines at Burrito Factory.
  
  This is proof there is justice in this world.
  
  * * *
  
  Burrito Factory sells burritos - so the name is not a total lie.
  
  But the house specialty is tortas.
  
  Really really really fine tortas.
  
  I had one with steak, chorizo and ham with spicy sauce, mexi-veggies, and lots of pico de gallo.
  
  The torta was absolutely sensational.
  
  Looking around Dobie, lots of the customers were thinking the way I was.
  
  There were tortas at a large majority of tables.
  
  * * *
  
  Dobie Mall in contrast, is going to the bow-wows.
  
  They did a wonderful decorating job on the outside, with some classy renaming and a classy arty paint job.
  
  They puts walls of very realistic plastic flowers around the main entrance making the door on the campus side really really something to see.
  
  But the investment in outside trimmings belies complete neglect and deferred maintenance on the inside.
  
  Half of the TV's in the food court don't work.
  
  The flushes in the men's room are weak or dysfunctional. One urinal was leaking water (clean water) all over the floor. Tiles were missing on the wall.
  
  The Dobie Mall Food Court was always airless and claustrophobic.
  
  Over time, none of this has changed.
  
  The place is convenient as a utility for the students who live in the skyscraper above.
  
  And if you are on the UT main campus, the Dobie mall is a little nearer your next class than is the Drag itself.
  
  But otherwise, the place is somewhat repellent.
  
  You would never never take an out of town visitor there.
  
  * * *
  
  So this is why I am guessing that the Burrito Factory will not stay at the Dobie long.
  
  The only tenant who has actually stayed in the Food Court for more than ten years is Oma's, the Korean food stall.
  
  And frankly, I have no idea how Oma's stays in business.
  
  But the Burrito Factory's tortas are an absolute 100% pleasure.
  
  Given the weak quality of the food trucks and the other food institutions on the Drag,
  
  You can make a good case for closing your eyes and enjoying a fantastic torta in an ugly place.
  
  Or if you think about it long enough, maybe you can't.

  This place is too good to be hidden away on campus. It's worth the journey if you aren't already here!
  
  Their tacos and burritos are fantastic. The meats have great flavor and their salsas are delicious. I will definitely be back soon.

  I was in the area on sales calls and Yelp recommended this restaurant to me.  I didn't realize it was inside a tiny food court so it took awhile to find.  The address is off Guadalupe but I feel like it's technically down that side street directly after you pass Target.  I ordered the chicken fajita taco plate with rice and beans.  I wish the chicken would have been seasoned a little more and not so dry.  The rice and beans were decent and the red hot salsa was good.  Even though the line was about 50 feet long, the gentleman on the grill was lightening fast and super courteous and the lady at the cash register was AH-MAZINGLY nice!!.  I believe this is a fantastic place for UT students to get authentic Mexican food for a reasonable price.

  THEIR TORTAS!!! So bomb!! I always order the torta al pastor & it's delicious. The meat is seasoned & cooked perfectly, the bread toasted to perfection, & it comes loaded with all the usual toppings: lettuce, tomato, pico de gallo, cheese, mayo, avocado, & your choice of mild or spicy salsa. All this for less than $7!
  
  The chef is also super friendly & helpful as well; I've never seen him without a smile on his face!
  Would recommend!!
