So, while i was in mexico i happened to try mango's w/chile stuff and lime. i can figure out what lime is and what kind mango it was (not that it really matters anyway) but does anyone know what kind of chile powder is used? i've tried just the regular ol "chile powder" and that didn't taste right.

At any Mexican grocery store in the U.S. you can get these little shakers of "chile para frutas" powder to be sprinkled on mangos, peaches, watermelon or whatever.
Seems like regular cayenne would work, too. Did you remember to put salt?
Those mangos are good. I've had similar mangos at Coney Island. The vendor peels the mango, cut some slices partway through one end (to look kind of like a pine cone), stick a plastic knife in the "base" of the "pine cone" to serve as a Popsicle handle, and walks up and down the beach selling the mangos. If the customer wants salt, lime, and chile on them, he uses a liquid hot-chile sauce that's sort of like Tabasco....it might have been Tapachula brand but lots of brands would work....yum.

The mangos con chili y limon, they use cayenne pepper. Lemon and chili is a good combination on many fruits try out different fruits you will never go back to plain fruit again.

Stop by a Mexican Grocery, if they have a produce section, you can find fresh Chiles. That is what they used.

the mango was probably an unripened one (green?). The sour taste of the unripened mango and chili powder (cayenne) goes great together.

Usually, they use a blend that is sold in local markets, and every region has different powdered chile blend.
I use lots of "chile tajin"(http://www.tajin.com/english/index.html) when eating fruit, and it is great.
