Mexica Buffet in Three Rivers

We often go here for lunch and it is always good. Yesterday we ordered a delivered take-away. It arrived exactly on time and was delicious.

Me and my partner attended this buffet for a nice meal in the evening. To our surprise there was a single hair in my partners food which resulted in us being put off. We were just told that a buffet is “open” and that these things can happen. Which is something i understand but there was not even an offer to reduce the bill.

Popped in for some take away noodles. Didn't realise you can take away from the buffet so we did. The staffwere very helpful. We came away with a bag each full of the starters and a good size container each full of our selection from the buffet. I can honestly say that everything was delicious. All I can say to them is do not let your chef go! Total of this was £20 amazing. We will definitely be back.

Food is great, good selection of starters, mains and desserts. Staff all lovely. Is cash only

Very down to earth buffet. Nothing to fancy but the food is something that I can’t keep my family away from. The lovely ladies that are on the shop’s floor are doing a fabulous job and delivering perfect service. They are very kind to any age customers. We have been visiting this confusing name MEXICA Buffet - even though it’s a Chinese 🇨🇳 restaurant since it’s been open in Ricky by - the food never let us down. Always fresh, tasty and delicious. Thank you Mexica BUFFET.

Initially on first sight the restaurant looked nothing special, we were seated straight away and for midweek it was reasonably busy , the food was fantastic, all fresh and crisp , unlike other buffets elsewhere and it was a very good price, waiters were very good- attentive without being a nuisance, very impressed overall. Have already recommended it to friends and plan to make it as regular occurrence as my waistband can manage !

Absolutely in love with this place. The customer service is at the highest standard. The staff is so friendly. We've been three times already and will definitely be coming back !!!!!!

Very limited selection, but price is okay. Sweet and sour pork taste different, they had the wrong recipe. Hong buffet in Luton is better.

Great value, fresh, tasty and great service

No thrills but an honest restaurant, staff friendly and value for money. Small selection of food but well done

This is family oriented buffet is amazingly good value, Great anglo-chinese dishes. Not too spicy, plenty and simple service. The choice of dishes is vast too. The service is efficient, quiet and prompt. Remember to take cash.

Very good food Eat in or take out

All the dishes were really nice. The toffee banana is quality

Come here often & have never been disappointed! Great Chinese, great flavors & always hot fresh tasty food! Delicious! Staff are amazing!

Excellent value for money. Tasty food and excellent service. Special mention for the toffee banana which was so nice. Would definitely go again. Parking a bit of a pain though.

Food is excellent, staff are nice, polite and price is good for the quality and the selection

Raw chicken satay and no one tells you it's cash only until the bill comes. Will not be returning.

We had a lovely lunch at this buffet Chinese restaurant. We've been many times before, it's excellent value, has lovely staff, and a great selection of food including starters, soup, noodles, rice, stir fried vegetables and a chicken curry. Many vegetarian options. Many desserts including ice cream, fruits, cake and banana fritters.

Amazing 👏 food is always brilliant staff are lovely

Food here is terrible the chicken is mushy and some of the food is even cold.Also someone could sneeze over the food and the waiters wouldn't even change it horrible food overall will not be eating again unless you want to be sick afterwards

Friendly staff,bit I was on my own wednesday around 8.30 pm.Food-warm,not impresive choice,not fresh chicken,and mostly veggies.Tasty ribs,sea weeds and rest is ....not so tasty.Paid 15 pounds plus 3 for small coke-thats joke.Would not go there again

Staff were polite and lovely. Food was ok and range available on buffet ok. Popular with locals

WOW! Delicious!! Have been here a couple of times now since moving to the area. The food is AMAZING! Great selection, everything tastes amazing, lovely friendly staff... will be back again very soon! TYSM

Never fails to please, fantastic food and service will be back next month for a nice treat. Can't for our next visit. No cooking or washing up for a night.

Been coming here since i was a little girl back then it was called tangs and was me and my familys hot spot. now years later its me and my partners hotspot we love it always been good atmophere here and the price you really cant beat for the quality of food and service

Lovely place to visit for a meal. Limited menu. Plenty of seating.

Very good price for the buffet but the food is not the best and there is not as much choice as other Chinese restaurants, the staff are polite and friendly and the service is fast.

Came here for a quick dinner as our usual place was closed and it did not disappoint. They do buffet menu and drinks you can order. Good buffet selection and good value for money. Good for quick meal out.

The usual all you can eat meal, 8 or 9 courses, very good value for money. Excellent friendly and efficient staff. Bearing in mind we haven't been there since January this year, as we went in we were greeted with "usual table?"

very good quality chinese food.

Such a great place. Friendly staff. Great food at a reasonable price

This has got to be one of the best restaurants in Rickmansworth I ever come across

Amazing service, amazing food!! Very tidy and fresh. Really loved it. Thank you

Very pleasant staff and lovely food. Not many Chinese buffet left. Thoroughly enjoyed

The first time I went here I thought the food was nice but unfortunately this time I found it yo be just OK.

The food is excellent and staff are very efficient with customers needs. It's a cash only eatery and worth booking as it gets busy at certain times

This is by far the best Chinese buffet in and around the Watford area for price and quality. I have been coming here for years now and the food has always consistently been delicious and affordable. They offer a cheaper price point during the week at lunchtime, I recently visited on a Saturday evening and dinner was £16.50 pp, which is amazing considering the wide selection on offer, including salt and pepper squid, prawns, chicken satay, beef dishes, chicken, soups and more. Then to finish they have a small choice of ice cream, jelly, and fruits. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, I look forward to my next visit! :)

The best salt and pepper tofu in the UK.

Fantastic food Great variety and Great friendly staff It’s not far from the Rickmansworth Station We had a lovely evening x

Unhealthy food.. done let the price fool you down, these food is coated with sugar .. first and last time .. you’ll feel disgusted after eating … if you want. Early death please go and eat there. 🤮🤢

Tons of Sugar added to all the food. Everything tastes sweet even the the Rice and the salad.. Sugar hot spot. If you wanna get cancer and diabetes this is the perfect buffet for you .

Food nice,dining area bit dowdy,

Excellent food and excellent service

You go in, they ask what you’d like to drink and then you help yourself to the buffet. The food was to a high standard. I highly recommended the chow mein noodles and the duck. Everything was warm, tasty and to a good standard. It was only £14 per person at the time of the week I went. They have weirdly very nice coke. And if you want more of something they instantly go and get it for you and replenish the buffet. I recommend as it’s good value for money for the food you get. You pay at the end. Drinks are not included in buffet.

The juicy peaches were exquisite 👌

Great food. Values for money. Service was excellent.

Excellent food and such lovely staff..

Great.. yummy food, lovely staff.. delicious and very reasonable price

It's great. Quick and easy. Plenty to eat.

Great staff great food great value.

Buffet looked smaller than would have liked upon entering and a bit squashed as in dishes above each other rather then being able to go Round the side which caused a bit of leaning over but the food was lovely. Cleaned up lots, refilled and tasty. Some additions would have been great just dishes I prefer but lots I did like and was a great experience

nice food… been going for years…

So glad that these guys deliver now. Eaten there many times and the food has always been good and now with the falling standards of all of the other local Chinese restaurants this place is by far the best option. I have to say, the portions were huge and the value for money excellent. Very happy and having tried all the others locally these guys win hands down!

Perfect for Saturday lunch buffet with friends

Why ? Mexica Buffet ? Chinese food completely ? Used to be named Chinese

Very nice Chinese Buffet. Eat as much as you like. Food good

There's a full menu available to eat in or takeaway. The buffet can also be taken away and includes duck pancakes! - good quality food, high turnover as always popular, good value - you get a sizeable round tin to fill plus a lot of nibbles in a small paper bag (prawn toast, wings, small spring rolls etc.). Famous for it's buffet but just good it's whole menu (eat in or takeaway/delivery).

Very nice place to eat the food is spot on, the staff are friendly and helpful. We went for the lunch time session and at £8.99 all you can eat you just can't go wrong. We are planning on going back with friends for the evening session. Don't let the outside put you off it's like the TARDIS and very clean and tidy

I haven't eaten at this buffet for a while so decided to pay a visit as it always seems busy these days. I wasn't disappointed there is a good selection of starters and mains which are replenished quickly and piping hot. Not a bad price will definitely be going again.

Was so bloody gorgeous Well worth the money

We visited for lunch which has a more limited food offering but I must say the food we had was very nice and fresh. They constantly filled up the trays so there was always a good variety of food. Great value for £8.99. Total bill £23.50 with 1 large and 1 regular coke. We will be back again for sure!

First time here and I guess it is ok ish food although not amazing as was typical bland (completely unauthentic chinese) buffet food. Bland atmosphere and plates taken swiftly which makes you feel like you are being watched. I am not in a rush to come back although I guess for £13.99 Sunday buffet it is what it is.

We come here quite a lot when we visit Rickmansworth. (We stay in the town when visiting London). Great food, plenty of choices and if things run out they are replenished quickly, not bad prices and service I’d very good. They are very friendly and can’t do enough.

Good service, clean restaurant, could do with a bit more selection, otherwise good overall. Make sure you wear your elasticated trousers 👖.

Food is pipping hot and freshly cooked Clean Friendly staff and welcoming The price reasonable

Absolutely lovely place friendly staff the food is always hot it worrh travelling to there on 3 buses

Lovely friendly staff. A great choice of food. All fresh and topped up regularly. A good chose of fresh fruit and ice cream too

Great buffet... fresh and tasty. Staff lovely. Cash only.

Fantastic buffet chinese always busy, quality of the food is amazing, plenty of starter choices like chicken and sweetcorn or hot soups, seaweed, chicken sticks, spring rolls, etc. This food isn't cheap, quality pieces of chicken breast used, always plenty of lamb available and well worth a visit. I go there 3-5 times a year and have never been disappointed.

Nice and friendly place to go and the food is very good, so tasty.Friendly people.I use to go there often.

My boyfriend and I had the buffet and both got food poisoning.

This oddly named chinese buffet is very good....great selection, nice ribs, and noodles ....the other half is very fussy, and she likes this buffet best.... and you can park nearby. Id definately recommend.

Food is great and fantastic value for money

Great buffet, very good service

Superb buffet and quality products used, best Buffet Chinese in the area, hence I go 4-6 times a year.

The restaurant is always clean, the staff are very attentive to tables, and the food is always fresh and topped up. A great place to have Chinese food!

Been here twice this week, food is very watery but its cheap. Staff are nice. First days food was ok, tonight it's all come straight back out again.

Been here twice this week. The food is a bit watery but it's cheap Chinese. Today's food didn't look or taste good and I ended up sicking it all back up . Won't be rushing back

This place is quiet good. The staff are welcoming. The taste of rice Hakka noodle is best but I like the whole menu. It is quiet worth the money. Must try

Fantastic food lots of choice and fresh. Fabulous service. Will definitely be returning especially for the home made apple crumble 😁

Took husband Phil for birthday lunch today ,food &service very. good

Decent Chinese buffet with good variety and reasonable dishes like chicken satay sticks,prawns, aromatic duck. Dessert options a bit lacking though. Weekend dinner priced at £16/person so it’s fairly high. Weekdays or lunch prices at closer to £10 would be more reasonable for the choices and quality.

Always clean, attentive staff, very good range of food

Great Chinese buffet restaurant, generous selection of freshly cooked food and friendly staff, always popular so can get busy at times. Would recommend.

Hi ho what fun! Literally all you can eat Chinese food. Hot, tasty and fresh had a very happy lunch. Very popular and usually busy. Cash only.

I bought takeout from this restaurant, their staff stands behind you each time to see what you are taking making you uncomfortable to pick what you want.

Well I found food very bland no rice and what food was ther tasted like a sugar bowl my self I was very disappoint I won't go back ever but other people that was with me loved it had a sweet tooth staff was lovely end result if u have a sweet tooth go if like me your more a spicy person don't I went cuz I had to make my Owen mind up I hope I've given a very fair review not everyone likes every thing God bless x

Not recomend at all! Avoid that place! Lady staff is so rude not nice person she is like a Robot, no smile on her face, was very rude with us last time when we went there. We will never get back to that place. Wasting time and money. Dont eat meat (beef?) in black bean souse always bad smell and taste.

After seeing the chef bring out the food in this disgusting uniform, it put me off my food (which was beyond substandard). Lord only knows what's going on in the kitchen if they think it's acceptable to come front of house looking like that

A chef, or kitchen staff came out to top up the food. His clothes were disgusting and filthy and greasy. Looked like they had never been washed, and it ruined our appetite. The most unpleasant experience I have ever had in any restaurant. Don't think they have any idea about hygiene. Pity, as it used to be very good value, but I doubt if I will ever eat there again.

All you can eat buffet. Good selection of dishes.

Excellent food at an affordable price.

Great service. Great food and such a reasonable price . Cash only but not an issue as its round the corner from a cash point

Myself and my friend went here for dinner ended up getting food poisoning

Excellent place to eat great variety and lovely staff who make you feel welcome. Inside is nice and cosy. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food and lots to chose from. Happy smiley staff.

Update 13/02/2023 Mexica Buffet have maintained a 5 star from me, I've been here quite a few times since my last review, and the quality has been absolutely spot on everytime, and what makes it even better is the very friendly staff. They're very kid friendly too which is a lovely experience, i've taken other family members here and they've also enjoyed themselves greatly. Prices have gone up since my last review but they are defintely fair increases in todays world and still very much worth the money - i'd prefer price increases over drops in quality anyday - you can tell the staff really care about what they do - keep up the good work :) I'd also like to point out they've got busier since my last review, but they manage it very well, and remain absolutely professional and friendly. OLD BUT STILL RELEVANT REVIEW Just had a lovely meal, this is my second time visiting and both times have been excellent - we travelled 40 minutes to come here as it’s worth the drive as it’s undoubtably the best Chinese buffet around - the food is always hot, it’s always tasty and the staff could not get any more friendly. I don’t think it’s possible to get a better value Chinese as the prices are reasonable, the food is excellent and fresh and the staff are lovely. We have 3 kids and they could not cater for us any better. The building admittedly is small and no frills and could do with some minor maintenance, but for the price charged and the quality of food served I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect any better - the building is certainly not falling apart as another review has said. All I can say is don’t be put off by the other reviews they’re just pedantic!

The restaurant is always clean & the food is of the highest standard. The staff are polite & helpful to everyone & successfully deal with large groups & individuals alike.

Oh my word. This is a gem of a place. It is not a big place, but it is a nice cosy size. Food is hot, and that is the main thing. Some of these bigger places, they do way to much food and the food has been sitting there for ages, but NOT Mexica Buffet. This place is good. Really loved the welcome, a good selection of your classic chinese dishes. Would highly recommend this place.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Highly recommended
