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.]
