Not *this* part of Texas, sir. I have a friend who grew up in New Mexico
and she had to go to Taco Bell for a hard shell taco. Here in all the
way southeast Texas, right on the Mexican border, they mostly do soft
shells (hard shells at the places that serve the Winter visitors) and
rarely corn tortillas. You will see corn tortillas with barbacoa and
fish tacos. Otherwise everything else is made with flour tortillas. Most
restaurants will offer you a choice of corn or flour when they serve
tortillas as bread. 9 times out of 10 even if you ask for corn, you get
flour <g>
