SF Tacquerias who cook with lard

[mrs bacon]

Tried to google and search on Yelp, but all I get are names of places that proclaim they are lard-free like it's some kind of badge of honor. Which SF taquerias have not fallen prey to such nonsense, and proudly use lard in their beans, tortillas, etc.?

La Cumbre's refried beans are made with lard. You can tell since they're smoother/creamier and you can taste it.

I think your best bet is Juan's Place in Berkeley

You're funny!

My understanding (as a consumer of non-larded foods) is that almost every taqueria uses lard in their refrieds. It's just the way things are done and then most will have non-lard fats used in their whole beans and will proclaim that publicly for folks who don't consume lard (hence your search results). And then lard in tortillas...Good question. I think corn tortillas are made without added fat. I suppose with flour tortillas the first question would be: do they make them from scratch?

No, corn tortillas have no fat. lard, grease, oil - nada. Flour tortillas do have fat.
