Co., Everett, WA Lines: 10 My experience with Mexican restaurants is that 99+% use lard in their re-fried beans. For example, in the Seattle area, I know of only 4 Mexican restaurants that offer vegetarian beans. Whenever possible, I call up in advance and ask whether the restaurant corrupts its beans with lard, and, if it does, I politely say that I will be unable to patronize them because they do... [In the Seattle area, three restaurants serving vegetarian refritos are El Cafe (Roosevelt), Mazatlan (Bothell) and Mexicali Cafe (Everett). Also, Rosita's (Greenlake) will serve soupy, vegetarian, "home-style" beans on request.]
