# Mangoes in Mexico

Golden cheeks, a squeeze of lime, a little chilli.

## Explore the mangoes

- [Ataulfo](https://mangoranking.com/mango/ataulfo.md) — Mexico

  Custardy and floral with a buttery texture and a bright sweet-sour balance.

## Journeys through these mangoes

- [A person. An island. A rosy name.](https://mangoranking.com/journeys/names-rooted-in-the-americas.md)

  Follow Ataulfo into Chiapas, Itamaracá to Pernambuco and Manga Rosa into Brazilian selection orchards.

## The country guide

Ataulfo is a lovely first taste of Mexico: a small fruit with sweet, creamy flesh. Its story is closely tied to Chiapas; the protected name Mango Ataulfo del Soconusco Chiapas refers to fruit from a specific growing area. Mexico’s mango culture is broader than this one selection, so treat it as your first stop, not the whole map.

## Season and availability

Mexico’s agriculture ministry identifies April to August as the months with the greatest mango production. Timing varies by growing area and variety; ask where the fruit was grown and when it was harvested, especially when buying imported fruit.

## At the table

Fresh mango with chilli, lime and chamoy is documented by Mexico’s agriculture ministry, alongside drinks, preserves, sauces and ice cream. Try a plain slice first, then add the sharp, spicy toppings to taste.
