Austin source for ajicito peppers?

[jimmyjazz]

I'm going to make an authentic Jamaican jerk marinade for some grilled steak & chicken on Friday. My recipe calls for "ajicito" peppers, which are about the same size and shape as a habanero or scotch bonnet, but with more sweetness and very little heat. They're green and then age red like a jalapeno.

Sometimes they're called "aji dulces".

Any hints on where I could find these in Austin? I can't really find a good substitute in any of my reference books.

Fiesta at I-35 and 38 1/2 St has a very good pepper selection. You might want to give them a call before making a trip.

Ah, thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten about Fiesta.
