Mexica Chinese Buffet
About This Spot
Stepping into Mexica Chinese Buffet on Station Road invites a sense of easygoing familiarity, like discovering a trusted neighborhood gem that quietly balances comfort and quality. The atmosphere here moves at a steady, unpretentious pace — a place where people settle in without rush, drawn by the approachable aura and the hum of quiet conversations amid the soft clatter of dishes.
This modestly sized spot welcomes a diverse crowd, from families to longtime regulars, all drawn by a straightforward yet satisfying buffet experience. The warmth isn’t just in the food, but in the gentle attentiveness of the staff, who tend to every generation with a genuine ease that makes the space feel unforced and inviting.
The spread reflects a thoughtful nod to variety without overwhelming: colors and flavors mingle freely, from vibrant fresh vegetables and tender orange chicken to comforting, homey slices of apple crumble and selections of neat, fresh fruits that offer a light finish. There’s a quiet joy in watching plates come back, full of lively textures and the occasional surprising twist, like a steaming hot pot or a scoop of Neapolitan ice cream that balances the meal with a silky, nostalgic coolness.
Dining here isn’t about a flashy night out — it’s about returning to simple pleasures, the reliable taste of well-prepared dishes, and the shared moments of comfort that quietly anchor this little spot within the community. For those who wander in weekday lunchtimes or linger through weekend dinners, Mexica feels like a calm, steady pulse in Rickmansworth’s culinary rhythm, soothing and familiar but never standing still.

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! :)

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.

I have eaten in restaurants with big names and many stars, but it almost makes me cringe to write these lines - this small restaurant is on par with the big ones! I recommend it with all my heart

Been coming here semi-regularly for years now, not had a single issue. I'm rather fussy so not finding any major problems is remarkable. Not the largest selection of food but everything available is 10/10 (especially the wings oh my god how are they this good).
