I think you are applying the function wrong. Try using -

cerveceria_dataset <- tidyr::separate(cerveceria_dataset, 
                       col = CLIENTE, into =  c("Nombre","Apellido"), sep = ";")

tidyr::separate splits a string column into multiple columns. If you are just working with a single character vector, you probably want something like stringr::split, which splits a character vector into a list of vectors (or a matrix if you use str_split_fixed).
