I am wondering if the type "Mexican Style" or "Restauant Style" or "Tortilla" corn chips also means they are made from masa flour? I cannot tell from the ingredients list. It does not say what process was used to make the corn flour.
Are there any particular type of corn chips that are made from masa flour

Tortillas are made from masa. So, if the chip is truly a "tortilla chip", then it was made with masa. Corn chips, like the brand Fritos, are made from corn meal, I believe. Masa is made from nixtamalized corn. Corn meal or corn flour is simply ground corn.
