I would say that a limoncillo is a mix between a lime and a grape. They grow in bunches like grapes do and are relatively small, but like a lime, it is a green color and you cannot eat the rind. You see them everywhere in the DR, and can buy a big bunch of them for 10 pesos (30 cents).
At first I didn't like them much, but over time they grew on me. Sili's mother would always give us some whenever we were in Pancho Mateo visiting with her and her family. Pictured above making limoncillo bundles to sell are some kids in Pancho Mateo who I taught my first year in country: Lizmiel, Anibelka, and Aderlin.
