Living here on the edge of Mexico, I can vouch for that. You have to ask
for corn tortillas in any restaurant. Tacos are always soft and always
on flour tortillas. Even fish tacos, which in Baja California are on
soft corn tortillas, are on flour tortillas here.

I have never seen enchilladas here or in interior Mexico made with corn
tortillas.

The local stores do sell corn tortillas, but it's at a least 4 to 1
ratio of flour tortillas to corn on the shelves.

If you want hard tacos on corn tortillas in this area yo have to go to
Taco Bell. I think New Mexico is more into hard shell tacos on corn
tortillas than we are here because my New Mexican GF goes to Taco Bell
for a hard taco fix.
