I grew up eating Allan's Pastry Shop patties at the Peanut Plaza which, in my opinion, they are the best patties in Toronto so I tend not to buy patties anywhere else because it's usually a disappointment. A friend from work brought in some from Randy's a while back and they were pretty much on par with Allan's but I rarely get out that way.
Anyway, another friend (who also grew up eating Allan's) sent me a blog about the Best Jamaican Patties in Toronto (http://www.blogto.com/toronto/the_best_jamaican_patties_in_toronto/) and I noticed Tinnel's was on the list. A few weeks later I was at the No Frills at Dundas/ Cawthra and spotted boxes of frozen Tinnel's patties so I thought, what the hell, I'll buy a box. Alright so we heated them up and they were AMAZING! This prompted us to drive out to Brampton one Saturday morning and buy a dozen (with coco buns). On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give Tinnel's a solid 9/10! The restaurant itself was very, very clean and the ladies serving us were very polite. I think the box (with the dozen coco buns) came to $22 or so; it was quite reasonable. Gave my neighbour and my husband's son some and they (who consider themselves patty connoisseurs) LOVED them - good amount of meat, spicy, soft and tasty pastry and so fresh.
A few weeks ago, one of our (Jamaican) friends was in the hospital so my husband brought him a dozen and he even said it ranked up there with Allan's. My two friends (who also visited him) ate them cold and still loved them.
I would continue to return and even order the cocktail size patties for my next party!
