The 'Mariachi' Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is named after the Mexican regional musical band that became popular in Jalisco, Mexico, in the mid-1800's. More to the point, it's a unique plant that produces high quality, mild chile peppers whose flavor at maturity is both delicate and complex, with fruity undertones reminiscent of melons. The peppers ripen from creamy white to rose, then red. f grown in stressful conditions, such as extremely hot weather or overly dry soil, the peppers may become much hotter. 'Mariachi' chiles can be used in salsas and many dishes either raw or cooked, and are especially flavorful when roasted whole. They are about 4 inches long by 2 inches wide. The plant grows as an upright bush and spreads to about 20 inches wide.
