Peruvian Aji Peppers (SD)

Does anyone know a place in San Diego that sells fresh Aji pepers?

    I've gotten them fresh at Northgate Gonzalez, but don't know if they're always in stock. You can get the paste there if not.

      I think they used to have them at Andres' market on Morena, but they were jarred or canned and not fresh.

      Not sure if they are available, Latin Chef even uses the frozen type, IIRC they purchase them from a distributor in LA.
