        The restaurant I went to prepared the beans with pork fat and anyways refused to change anything about the menu. It wasn’t a genuine Mexican restaurant though since I live in Germany. The owners traveled to Mexico often though, got recipes from befriended Mexican chefs and imported some ingredients.

        I know that because I used to go there often before I went vegan and was pretty sad that they went basically hostile when I carefully tried to order something vegan.

        With carefully I mean without any preaching or judging or super complicated changes and custom wishes.

          Refried beans are always made with lard. A lot of Mexican restaurants also offer whole pinto or black beans and those are usually made vegan. I would warn you that bullion is used in a lot of recipes though.
