Although the Chocolate habanero chili (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) has great economic importance due to its pungency and culinary demand, it is little known and cultivated in Mexico. The objective was to evaluate the quality and yield of the Chocolate habanero pepper in the state of Colima. The crop was established in growth bags and mulched soil under greenhouse conditions at a density of 22 311 plants ha-1. Fruit length, diameter, and weight, the number of fruits plant-1, and yield per plant and per unit area were measured. Fruit length, diameter, and weight, as well as the number of fruits per plant-1 and yield were higher when the plant was cultivated in mulched soil compared to the growth bag. It is concluded that the Chocolate habanero pepper showed better quality and yield when grown in mulched soil
