Nope. At least, not that we've found. I think some of the restaurants make their own or have some sort of special supplier, but we've yet to find them in the store. They haven't quite figured out Mexican food over here.

If you can find pinto beans, you can make em yourself, at least I think that's what kind of bean you use, not 100% positive on that. My mom used to make em all the time. I don't think I could live without refried beans I eat them a lot. I usualy buy the cans though.
