I buy the Ataulfo mangoes from time to time in the off season just to keep tabs on what's out there. They have ranged in my experience to reasonably enjoyable to terrible. On the Excellent, Good, Fair and Poor scale that I often use, the flavor can be from Poor to almost Good, Fair + might be more accurate. I find the later season ones are generally better than the early season ones. When there are no other mangoes they can fill the void for most mango eaters....but will always be downed by the mango snobs out there. Ooops, lost myself there for a moment.....the Ataulfo is a horrible, no taste waste of time mango. Stay a way from it.
