To my knowledge, tacos tapatios are corn tortilla filled with meat, rolled and deep fried. They are served by the half dozen topped with shredded cabbage and crema fresca casera. Flautas are large flour tortillas filled with meat, rolled, deep fried, and served with salsa. Flautas are usually longer than the taco tapatios due to the size of the tortillas. I may be different in other areas, but this is usually how it is served on the Texas/Mexico border.
