Honestly, what does dragon fruit taste like compared to other tropical fruits?

They look absolutely stunning with their bright pink skin and speckled interior, but they are fairly expensive at my local grocery store. Before I drop money on one, I want to know if the flavor profile actually matches the exotic appearance. For those who buy them regularly, what does dragon fruit taste like? Is it intensely sweet and tangy, or is it more subtle and watery like a kiwi?

Dragon Fruit has a mild, slightly sweet taste that is often compared to a mix of kiwi and pear. Unlike stronger tropical fruits like mango or pineapple, dragon fruit is lighter, more refreshing, and less tangy.
