The Experience

The heart of downtown Puebla is among the richest in Baroque architecture and culture. In our original and welcoming tortilla shop, you will help us serve our customers as well as in the daily operation of the restaurant: cooking, cleaning, and delivering orders in the same area. We enjoy it, and it energizes us on days filled with activity and interaction.

This was my first volunteering experience ever and it definitely set the bar very high. I spent 3 amazing weeks at a beautiful house full of history. The tortas taste amazing, I had at least 2 every day. I also loved the cats! The location is great, right in the center, it's really easy to move around by foot. The work in the kitchen was fun and I learnt a lot about Puebla's culture and cuisine, also thanks to Guile and Geo, which spent time with me, inviting me to drinks, events and food spots. They and the rest of the young team really made me feel at home, we made some great memories :)

Guile & Georgina are the absolute best hosts one could ask for. My experience here was super productive — cooking every day, learning a lot about Poblano culture and doing endless things here and around the city. Guile & his family were kind enough to take me out to numerous places, bars, restaurants, workshops etc. Always super accommodating, checking if everything is okay & if I needed anything extra. My hours were respected & Guile was always quick to respond to any queries. Couldn't have spent my time in a better way and with better company here in Puebla. Lots of love you guys <3

Guile was truly a helpful and kind host who also communicates very well i was taught how to prepare tortas and other dishes on the menu by the young team and also got to deliver some orders and walk around puebla sometimes after work guile and geo invited me to hang out with them and their friends which I really appreciated I also had a blast with the rest of the team because they were very funny, kind and energetic even though it was sometimes hard to follow their conversations because I didn't speak spanish that well they included me wherever possible

We volunteered as a couple for 2.5 weeks, which included special events due to the restaurants 5 year anniversary. The accomodation was comfortable and the hosts were very welcoming - they showed us good local restaurants and were keen to for us to learn about Poblano food and culture.
We volunteers in the kitchen and front of house, areas where we have experience. The restaurant is pretty quiet so there is not always much work to do, but the staff are all great and we were able to spend time chatting and practing our Spanish. Would definitely recommend volunteering here.

I had a great time in Puebla with everyone at Cosme tortas. Guile and Geo were very friendly and welcoming. They invited us out for food/drinks as a group of volunteers and sometimes with their friends. They gave us recommendations of things to do and try. They were also very helpful when I needed medical help. The work in the kitchen was fun and easy. All the staff were great and helped with my poor Spanish. I've learnt a lot and met some lovely people.
