From Jim: <blockquote class="templatequote language"><p>Here this fruit is called Sapote Colorado but I think it's the same as what I know from Guatemala as Caimito Amarillo, Latin name <i>Pouteria caimito</i>. The fruit tastes like a slightly dry but sweet yam or sweet potato.
</p></blockquote>
However, based on pictures on the internet I think this is a yellow sapote / canistel (<i>Pouteria campechiana</i>).
