"flaquito" I sense this means a little lazy or perezoso This appears in the song Mondo Bongo from the movie Mr.and Mrs. Smith. I got the Zapatista reference.

I found the following explanations:

  1. A “flaquito” is a flour tortilla rolled around a filling (usually chicken or beef) and deep fried. A “flauta” is is flour (or corn) tortilla rolled around a filling and deep fried. A “taquito” is a corn (or flour) tortilla rolled around a filling and deep fried. Flaquitos are much less popular than the very similar (some would say identical) flautas and taquitos.

  2. "Flaquito" is a diminuative of "flaco", meaning "thin, skinny" (may refer to either someone who is too thin or as a 'pet name' of someone we really like/love)

I think the context of the word would help to understand its meaning and usage.
