They're either a common side or part of the main dish at American Mexican
restaurants (including southwestern, Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex ... these are
different things) or general restaurants that have a couple of these
favorites (esp. huevos rancheros) on the breakfast menu.

I've also eaten them as a side at an old-fashioned cowboy steakhouse on
California's central coast with my bacon, toast, and eggs. My late
grandfather loved Heinz beans and had them with his breakfast, although we
didn't join him in it. (I always passed on the side of beans at the
student B&B I stayed at in London.)

Beano helps with that if you need to build up your bean-digesting enzymes.
And the fiber helps process the cholesterol right out of your system.

As a note, my Canadian ex was initially horrified at the notion of beans
with breakfast, but grew to love the huevos rancheros (with a side of
spicy black beans) at the neighborhood cafe as much as I do. As I recall,
I introduced him to the concept of apple pie for breakfast, as well.
