Yes, it has the ability to be better than Gary, which also tastes like a Pina Colada. The key with the Pina Colada is picked at the right time so it ripens properly. If picked too early, it will not fully ripen and you wind up with a slightly sour, pasty/chalky mango not worth or cutting into.
The dog made it do it.

You want to wait at the very least till it starts getting that yellow/orange blush. Depending on how many fruits your tree holds, you could try letting it almost fully ripen on the tree. I would not pick it green. One caveat, when the fruit gets to a certain ripeness stage it turns very mushy, like a Carrie or even worse.
