Is Fresh Rambutan or Mangosteen Available in Puerto Rico

Do any of the Supermercado's sell fresh Mangosteen or Rambutan in Puerto Rico?

I recall that there are some farmers that do have Mangosteen and Rambutan orchards in Puerto Rico.

I believe Mangosteen can be found, but I've never seen Rambutan.

Do you happen to know what the locals call Mangosteen? mangostán? mangostín?

That I don't Both of those sound right, but I don't know. Unfortunately, my spanish is good, but local colloquialisms, not so much.

I'm not 100% about availability at the moment either... there's a lot of issues with the local grocery stores and items that were readily available before summer are increasingly harder to find.
