Where to buy fresh aji amarillo LA/OC

Anyone ever seen these available? (Not the canned type).

    Anybody else? I'd like to incorporate more Peruvian dishes into my repertoire.

      Never did find any fresh. I did buy a bag of frozen though, from a restaurant here in LB.

      Look for 'Chile Manzana' at markets catering to Mexicans. I've purchased it at the Food for Less on Anaheim in Harbor city.

        Thanks but I think the manzana are more like the Peruvian rocoto chiles, the one I'm trying to find is the long skinny aji amarillo. Thanks, though.

        actually, searching for these myself. I heard that the peruvian rotisserie place pollo mania in el monte has a red/orange aji sauce using these the red/orange aji peppers instead of jalepenos. perhaps can ask the restaurant where they buy it.
