Oritos, which belong to the Sucrier group. They're 2-5 bites big, round, straight fingers with firm amber flesh, and they're sweet with a tropical fruit bouquet and a lingering vanilla aftertaste.

Running a close second, Rosaditos (a Jamaican Red x Orito hybrid) and Limones (which we suspect are either Monticristi or Orinoco.) Shaggy, Reds are better fresh off the tree, when the skin is almost purple.
