Very nice fig......

Jakarta , Indonesia

Looks like a real beauty...can't help you with the variety, but I hope you really enjoy that one.

looks like Spain variety

Paradiso Nero? 

California Brown Turkey.

Rather than just having a guessing game based on a few pictures, a little history always helps with making the ID.

If this is a random tree in S. Cal, then it most likely is a Black Mission or California Brown Turkey based on statistical odds and it being a dark fig.  Looking at the single leaf available in Jon's variety database for each of those varieties and comparing with the varied leaves in your first photo, either could be a possibility.

If this is a tree in an ethnic neighborhood or you know it was brought over from {INSERT FIG GROWING COUNTRY OF CHOICE}, then it is going to be harder to figure out.  But you have not given the forum enough info.

Not sure, but its a nice looking fig.  Looks big and juicy!  I think I saw pics of Nero being unsymetrical like that at times.  Let me know if you wanna share some cuttings.

Just talked to the owner,this is a random tree in Los Angeles, i got several cuttings from it. It was bought from Home Depot. 

It is California Brown Turkey,called Genoa Black in Italy.
UCD Germaplasm have it under DFIC 17 Brown Turkey.

Timothy, I think I can spare some cuttings for you. PM me

That looks beautiful though.  Nice shape.

Very nice!

yeah it's a beautiful fig and tasted sweet with some berry finish.

BTW, it's not a California Brown Turkey.

UPDATE: I take that back, this is a California Brown Turkey. Thanks Herman2 :)
