Here you are, stopping by to read mmm-yoso!!! Kirk, who writes the majority of posts, is wandering around the world with His Missus, while Cathy is 'holding down the fort' and writing about food.
A wonderful addition to Santee opened in 2020 into a prior taco shop storefront in the mall anchored by Home Depot. Pepper Farm Deli sells more than hot and cold sandwiches. Salads, flatbreads, wraps, burgers, plates, smoothies, breakfast and more are on the menu. Soups and sauces are made from scratch. Organic vegetables and fruits, Boar's Head meats, antibiotic free chicken. Bread is delivered daily. I could go on, but here, just look.
Step inside, order, pay and your name will be called. There are 18 seats inside and tables out in front.
The Monte Cristo Breakfast sandwich ($14.99) is served with warm syrup and a side of fruit. 
Made with Boar's Head oven roasted ham, Havarti cheese, mustard and mayo on egg-dipped white bread which is pan fried, this hefty sandwich is enough to share.
There are four soups available daily, all home made: tomato basil, chicken noodle, clam chowder and chili (Cup $5.49-5.99, Bowl $7.49-7.99). The clam chowder is my favorite, although all are wonderfully flavored.
The cheesy flatbread ($11.99) is a meal in itself. A thin, made in-house crust topped with roasted garlic tomato sauce, provolone and mozzarella. Simple and good.
The garlic-cilantro jumbo shrimp plate ($16.99) includes a cup of soup or small salad, sautéed broccoli and asparagus and ten jumbo shrimp which are marinated in the house garlic and pepper sauce and lightly cooked (still meaty and firm).
On the bottom of the wall menu there is a section "Pepper Farm Special" ($7.99). A choice of four cold half sandwiches, chips and a fountain drink. (for $11.99, you can get a choice of four hot half sandwiches, chips and a drink). This is the Bovine: roast beef, havarti cheese, garlic aioli, mustard, red onion, tomatoes, banana peppers and spring mix on a hoagie roll. It's a large half sandwich.
Quality at fair prices. We are regulars.

The Pepper Farm Special sounds great if one doesn’t want to eat too much.
Seems like a good place for a light lunch
There’s a good variety of quality items here, kat. It’s also close to home as well as Home Depot, so the convenience factor makes Pepper Farm an easy choice on those busy days.
My usual order at Jersey Mike’s is the #6- a mini roast beef, which is $8.75 and doesn’t include the chips or beverage, Sandy. So it really works out to stop here.
The whole sandwiches are quite large; enough to share, or save for dinner, ST. We really enjoy the variety as well as the quality here. Trying to stay local is sometimes a challenge when so many chains exist.
