Refried beans? They are beans that have been fried only once. Mashed up of course. I don't think I ever had frijoles refritos in Mexico, although I had it up to the ears with that stuff in Guatemala.
As for tacos, yes Mexicans do eat tacos. I've seen this phenomenon many times.
Best shrimp soup I ever had was at a market(a market where mostly locals go, and tourists in the know)in Acapulco.
