Origin of El Trapiche

Radio interview with Domingo de Obaldia and Ximena de Obaldia about the history of the family business and icon of Panamanian gastronomy, El Trapiche

In 1983, three Panamanian businessmen met with the idea of investing in the culinary sector. The Obaldía, Jaén and Anguizola families opted for Panama's native cuisine and opened the first branch of El Trapiche, on Vía Argentina. Forty years later, the quality and service have been maintained, as well as the essence of the typical dishes they offer to locals and foreigners in their four locations. In #PanamaEnDirecto we spoke with Domingo De Obaldía and Ximena De Obaldía to learn more about the success story.
