Jamaican Style Patties, Unbaked (Spicy Beef, 1 Case)

I love beef patties. I used to eat them almost every day when I lived in NY, but then I moved to the West Coast where there's a much smaller Jamaican/Caribbean population and much harder to find a good spot for Caribbean food. I searched far and wide for a store I could get my daily beef patty fix from but the few I found, their beef patties just didn't taste right at all. So I started searching online hoping I would find someone, anyone, who shipped decent beef patties cross country. I think I screamed for joy when I found these Caribbean Food Delights patties because I knew from back in the day that they'd be on point. (Juicii & Tastee also have great patties but good luck finding them outside of Jamaica or NYC).Now, almost 3 years later I have been ordering a box of these every time my last box is finished. The first time you order you may be worried about the price, over $125 (+ shipping) ain't cheap, but when you bake up the first batch and sink your teeth into that flaky crust and the juicy, perfectly seasoned ground beef paste hits your tongue, you'll appreciate that you bought them. Also, with a pack of 50, it comes out to only like $2 or $3 per patty (cheaper than the bland beef patties at my closest Caribbean store!).I am writing this review now, after all these years because I want to highlight what happened on my last delivery and how professional Caribbean Delights are. Despite shipping to me, which is about as far as you can get from NY, I have rarely had a case with broken or defrosted/unfrozen patties from them, they package these securely! But unfortunately, my last pack shipped during a heat wave and I guess some "not too clever" delivery men left the box outside a little too long during transit, so my patties arrived completely defrosted and were even starting to go bad with a smell. I told Caribbean Delights what happened, expecting the worst, but instead they immediately sent another pack which arrived in perfect condition.Caribbean Food Delights clearly cares deeply about their product and about their customers. That's why I'll continue ordering a box of these until they open up shop here in Cali!

Good choice of patties. I will buy again.

Product itself is great. Unfortunately, while shipping is rather expensive, the amount of dry ice utilized (too small an amount) allowed the product to thaw after delivery sitting outside.

These are delicious! They are worth every dollar. I have been eating patties for over 20 years. These are the real deal.Microwave them for one minute 30 seconds and then put them in the oven for 20 minutes on 350 degrees. Flip them once at 10 minutes. You won’t be disappointed!

I wanted spinach patties but they have been unavailable for months. So I took a chance on the spinach and cheese variety. I was pleasantly surprised! The flavor is similar to creamed spinach and very tasty! They were shipped promptly and arrived frozen with dry ice. I pay $5.25 each for these in the local restaurant so no question of the value for the money. They ended up costing $1.65 each. Of course that doesn't included the cost of the small freezer I had to buy to hold them all. But perfect for the pandemic since in California we don't know from one day to the next if restaurants will be open and this way I don't have to leave the house to enjoy a Jamaican patty.

I have been ordering these for a few years now. My husband is a first generation Jahmerican and his mother lives in Queens. We used to have her ship them to where we live in Minnesota. Now we just order directly. It can be pricey but its very hard to find them here. So we don't mind the cost. We bag them up and eat them. Thank you for sharing them with us. We appreciate it.

The patties came frozen in a box. Spicy just the way our family likes them. I took the patties out of the box and separated them into a dozen each in a gallon ziplock bag and they held up well. Did not find any broken. Will definitely order them again. By the way they are eating them, I'll be ordering again real soon.

So good. Flaky and spicy,but not hot. Absolutely delicious. I put 2 each in a Ziploc bag for storing in the freezer.$165.00 for 50 patties is a great deal.
