What's this fruit in Mexico
The shell is really hard and the locals make container and art work with it.

It is definitely a coconut -- just not that shaggy brown kind you see in some tropical climates. These are the little green ones found on decorative palms. I don't believe they are good as a food source, just used for carving, etc. In Spanish the word for "coconut" is "coco", so I'm sure that was what he was trying to tell you.
