Lime is called limón everywhere. In Spain lemons are called limón. In Mexico lemon is called limón eureka or limón italiano.
In most Latin countries, what is called a lime in the USA is a limon. You don't see too many yellow larger lemons. The limon is very popular in Venezuela and is usually similar to a Key lime. I have heard yellow type lemons called limones amarillos. Also in some cases you will the word lima used.
Ha! You'll start a fight with this question. The Spanish linguistics professor at my U asks this question of each Morphology class. The answer is very region specific.

Lime is "limón" and Lemons aren't common in Latin America. The closest thing would be a "Lima" except a Lima is sweet and not sour.
Not many yellow lemons around here.
God bless.
