Our story

Paraguayan tradition, made in Pereira since 1964

Bobadilla’s story begins on a football pitch and continues around a grill. It is the story of a family with Paraguayan roots who chose to stay in the Coffee Region.

1964 · Where it all began

From Club Nacional of Paraguay to Deportivo Pereira

It was 1964 when Don Isaías Bobadilla Carrera arrived in Pereira from Club Nacional of Paraguay to join Deportivo Pereira. He played there until 1969 and scored 31 goals in 232 matches. His legacy, and that of his fellow Paraguayans, is still part of the team’s history.

At the end of his career, in love with this land, he founded his first business with his wife, Beatriz Céspedes, known to everyone as “Beba”.

The traditional grill

The soul of the Paraguayan asado in the Coffee Region

The family brought the tradition of slow-roasted asado to Pereira, and a conviction: serving well is as important as cooking well. The grill is the meeting point, with a demanding selection of cuts and a technique learned at home.
