Only if you're eating the tiny itty bitty single-ingredient rolls and those have the widest profit margins.
OP lives in Louisiana. He's going to be eating deep fried, mayo-drizzled rolls as big around as the bottle of bud light he'll be drinking alongside.
I've never gone to a sushi all you can eat buffet and eaten less than $75 worth at regular menu prices. Why even go?

I've paid over 30 for AYCE about ten times. Half of those were churrascarias and were 40-60 depending if I got drinks, desserts, etc. Those were generally worth it. The other half were Vegas buffets. Three of those, and the only one I'd recommend was The Wicked Spoon. I've done AYCE sushi in Vegas too but it was only like 25 bucks at lunch time (Sushi Mon in Henderson). I had like 30 pieces of nigiri so that was worth it.

If you're serving Golden Corral level food at those rates don't expect me to show up.

That's something that will never happen in a buffet. The restaurant already knows how much people can eat and that they could potentially "break even". But they can't allow that, duh, if you were eating the same amount of food in any other restaurant, it would be worth $30 but cost probably a little more. In the buffet, the quality of food is so low that what you perceive as $30+ worth of intake wouldn't sell for $14 anywhere else.

ive worked at a few dumpy buffets in the past and it takes no effort to make the majority of the food since everything is basically just reheating everything.

people wastes lots of food, so doing that shit really means nothing.

I tried Golden Corral once and all the meat was really bad or badly cooked. It was either half fat and gristle or burned. Sucks because I really like buffets and I want to go to one that isn't just Chinese or Indian. But maybe it's just this location being poorly run because it's also been temporarily shut down a couple times for health code violations.

It depends on the restaurant. When the Aladdin hotel in Vegas still existed, I think they charged about $60 per person. The ethnic/regional variety was absolutely nuts at that one and the food was of very high quality. It's more about what you're willing to pay rather than what's acceptable. People don't tend to give a shit in Vegas because they already came there to spend money.

Entirely subject to quality and location.
$30 may be reasonable if you think you're getting somewhat above-average quality stuff to choose from, and the people around you are not the types who are shovelling food into concealed tupperware.
If it's uncle Wang's brunch buffet that gives you the shits in 30 minutes or less, you're being jewed.

I've never even heard of a mexican buffet. Where the hell are you eating mexican buffets?

I'm in the SE, so we have southern/bbq buffets everywhere that are REALLY good. Maybe they fill that mexican buffet niche for us, since I'm going to assume you're west coast. Soul food is great on a buffet. Who doesn't like fried porkchops? And those run ~$12

The first place my mind goes is Brazilian bbq, In which case, I'd almost be scared about the quality because it was so cheap. But if you're talking about a place like Golden Corral, then, meh, probably is too much simply because I respect every meal as a potential opportunity to eat something good so much that I simply wouldn't waste my time at a place like that, I'd just go somewhere I liked better.
