Mission
"At San Juan Eatery, our mission is to bring the warmth of Southern comfort food to the heart of the Rocky Mountains while giving back to the community we love. With every meal we serve, we support local animal rescues, creating a place where great food and compassion come together to make a difference—one plate at a time."
Our Story
At the heart of San Juan Eatery are two people with a love for good food and even bigger hearts for animals. Amanda Jones and Eddie Tobin, longtime residents of Pagosa Springs, have always believed in the power of community—whether it’s serving up hearty Southern comfort food or lending a helping hand to those in need.
​
Their journey began in their cozy local restaurant, where they built lasting relationships with customers who quickly became family. But beyond the hustle of running a successful eatery, Amanda and Eddie found a new calling—helping animals in need. Through their involvement with Rugby’s Rescue, a local animal rescue, they discovered a shared passion for rehabilitating animals and finding them their FUR-ever homes.
​
When they’re not serving plates piled high with soul-warming dishes, you’ll find Amanda and Eddie welcoming fosters into their own home through Rugby’s Rescue. They devote their time to walking dogs, nursing animals back to health, and sharing their time, energy, and love to give these furry friends a second chance. From foster care to adoption drives, they’ve devoted their free time to making a difference, one wagging tail and happy bark at a time.
​
San Juan Eatery is a reflection of Amanda and Eddie’s mission to nourish both people and animals. With every meal served, they’re not just filling plates—they’re giving back. A portion of every dish supports local rescues, helping animals find loving families and brighter futures.
Amanda and Eddie’s story is one of hard work, compassion, and a belief that food has the power to bring people—and pets—together. At San Juan Eatery, we invite you to share a meal, hear the stories, and join us in making a difference, one bite and one rescue at a time.

Welcome to San Juan Eatery, where every meal comes with a little extra love.
