Yes, if Pine Island Nursery is in driving range I recommend going there.

Year after year, the double-blind taste-testing at the annual Pitaya festival comes up with:
#1 American Beauty ... a selection of Hylocereus guatemalensis.
#2 Physical Graffiti ... an excellent hybrid
...
Among the consistent losers are the Yellow Pitaya, Selenicereus megalanthus.

The taste tests are performed under red lights using randomly numbered samples so neither the taster or the server knows what color or name the fruit is.
