So visiting from South Texas I always get [3 of these boxes](https://i.imgur.com/qxCjeoT.jpg) at the flea market every week ($2-5 usd each box depending on the ripeness). Yes, I LOVE MANGOS
Can I get something similar in Germany? I’ve only seen the big red mangos so far st grocery stores but they’re very expensive and taste sour. I like the Mexican mangos most (Ataulfo).

No. At least not for that money.
My multi-year quest for proper mangos led to almost nothing.
In Berlin they have Thai mangos a couple of times a year in Edeka, but apart from that, you only get those green and red ones from somewhere in South America (which don’t taste like the real thing). Once in a blue moon Asian shops might have yellow mangos as well, again Thai or sometimes Indian.
Considering that mangos are a tropical fruit and Germany is not a tropical country, you will find it nearly impossible to get fresh mangos, and certainly impossible to get fresh mangos at a cheap price. You can get Altaúfo mangos in South Texas because you’re pretty much next door to Mexico.
