Both taste great, the corn tortilla is known all over Mexico but the flour tortilla originated in the Northern Mexico States. where the dry climate was not entirely suitable for maize crops. Corn tortillas are a staple of Mexican cuisine, you can practically eat anything with a tortilla. Corn tortillas are good for chicken tacos and flour tortillas are great for quesadillas (melted cheese quesadillas) A corn tortilla sometimes tends to split in half when the filling has too much liquid, but this can be avoided if you slightly cook them in oil for a couple of seconds. Flour tortillas fry well but don't taste as good as fried corn tortillas. Both are great choices but it depends on your personal preferences. By the way, a flour tortilla must be thin, I've seen some things that look like a thick pizza base passed off as a flour tortilla, eat two or three of those and you're full. Experiment with different foods and decide for yourself which tastes best with what.

Flour - my grandmother got up early every morning to make fresh tortillas for the family & held them upright in the paper napkin holder until they cooled. Nothing better than a hot tortilla w/butter or buttered w/a roasted green chili & a slice of baloney.

All a matter of what you are doing with them.
For soft tacos, the flour tortillas work pretty darn nice.
For frying? Corn seems to taste better to me.
