Dwarf mango trees are very popular here in San Diego. They can produce a lot of fruit on a relatively small tree of 7 - 12 ft (2 - 3.7 m) tall. It's perfect size for picking the fruit. Photo taken at Quail Botanical Gardens on Sept. 5, 2017.

I should have planted mine 20 years ago.
Not sure which variety that is..round fruit. I mostly know the Mexican-Philippine types by eye or Valencia Pride that is like a giant version of Manila.
It could be a Glenn. I hear very good things about them in the bay area.

I know I wish I planted another tree after my Keitt was crowded out and died. I could have had a big tree by now.

I think it could be Kent. The coloring is very similar.
