Steakhouse and grill in Pereira

A grill with Paraguayan soul in the Pinares neighborhood

Bobadilla was born to bring the flavor of the traditional Paraguayan grill to Pereira. Charcoal cooking, a warm atmosphere and attentive service you can feel at every table: a meeting place for families, friends and couples.

More than 20 years later, we keep lighting the grill with the same idea: serving well is as important as cooking well.

Paraguayan tradition

The soul of the Paraguayan asado in the Coffee Region

A family with Paraguayan roots arrived in Pereira with the tradition of slow-roasted asado. That heritage lives on in the menu: Paraguayan empanadas and croquettes, picanha in the Guaraní cut and the Picada Che to share.

Passion for football

Passion for meat and football

We grew up breathing football, because in the Coffee Region every ball tastes like neighborhood, coffee and togetherness. The family’s football tradition predates the restaurant and was born around the Sunday asado.

On weekends and match days the house fills up fast. Book ahead.
