La Temporada de Mangos
The first mango of the season is the moment when the Mexican spring becomes the Mexican summer, and the streets fill with mango carts selling mango en vinagre (pickled mango), mango con chili (mango with chili and lime), and mango fresco (fresh mango slices). The mango season lasts from April to September, and the varieties are the manila (honey-sweet), the ataulfo (creamy), the tommy (firm and tart), and the criollo (wild and small). The first mango is the first warm day, the first afternoon rain, and the first taste of summer.
