About TEKILAS MEXICAN GRILL & BUKANAS BAR

Welcome to TEKILAS MEXICAN GRILL & BUKANAS BAR, where the vibrant spirit of Mexico comes alive in the heart of Pittston, Pennsylvania. Located at 900 Oak Street, our restaurant has become a cornerstone of authentic Mexican cuisine and warm hospitality in the Wyoming Valley. Since opening our doors, we have been dedicated to bringing you the most genuine flavors of Mexico, crafted with passion and served with pride.

Our Story

TEKILAS MEXICAN GRILL & BUKANAS BAR was born from a deep love for Mexican culture and cuisine. As the owner, I wanted to create more than just a restaurant – I envisioned a place where families and friends could gather to experience the true essence of Mexican hospitality. Our name reflects our dual commitment: "Tekilas" represents our dedication to premium spirits and authentic Mexican beverages, while "Bukanas" embodies the festive, communal atmosphere that defines Mexican dining culture.

When we chose Pittston as our home, we knew we were joining a community with a rich history and strong family values – principles that align perfectly with Mexican tradition. Our location on Oak Street puts us at the heart of this wonderful community, where we've had the privilege of serving generations of families and welcoming newcomers who quickly become part of our extended family.

Authentic Mexican Cuisine

At TEKILAS MEXICAN GRILL & BUKANAS BAR, authenticity is not just a buzzword – it's our promise. Our kitchen is led by experienced chefs who bring generations of culinary knowledge from various regions of Mexico. We source the finest ingredients, from imported Mexican chilies and spices to locally sourced fresh produce, ensuring every dish tells a story of tradition and quality.

Our menu celebrates the diverse regional cuisines of Mexico, featuring everything from street-style tacos and sizzling fajitas to complex mole dishes and fresh ceviches. Each recipe has been carefully developed to honor traditional cooking methods while appealing to the palates of our Pennsylvania neighbors. We take pride in our handmade tortillas, slow-cooked carnitas, and signature salsas that range from mild and flavorful to fiery hot for those who dare.

The Bukanas Bar Experience

The bar at TEKILAS MEXICAN GRILL & BUKANAS BAR is truly something special. Our extensive collection of tequilas and mezcals represents some of the finest spirits Mexico has to offer, from smooth blancos perfect for margaritas to aged añejos that should be savored slowly. Our bartenders are not just skilled mixologists – they're educators who love sharing the rich history and craftsmanship behind each bottle.

Our signature margaritas are legendary in Pittston, made with fresh lime juice, premium tequila, and our secret blend of triple sec. We also feature seasonal specialties that incorporate local ingredients with traditional Mexican flavors, creating unique cocktails you won't find anywhere else in the region. Beyond tequila, our bar stocks an impressive selection of Mexican beers, including hard-to-find craft brews from Mexico's emerging beer scene.
