I tried red Peruvian Rocotos in 2015, but I didn't get any fruit. They were nice-looking plants, though. They say they need a pollinator. I had one, but it didn't help. I think the main obstacle is the days to maturity—maybe the soil I used, too, and my watering method that year. Also, they probably would have done better in a container.

This year, I'm trying an early Rocoto (90 days) called Rocoto Aji Largo. Unfortunately, I only got 5 seeds with my purchase, and I only planted two this year for some reason. Neither has sprouted, yet, but they might still.

I'm guessing the Manzano rocotos might be the juiciest of that type, though. I could easily get seeds for those, but although they're bigger, they're not as hot.
