    Chimichanga (not deep fried upon request)
    Marie B.

    We walked in and were seated immediately. The waitress came and took our drink orders and returned quickly with a nice cold beer and a water. My husband got a #6 from the combos and I ordered a seafood chimichanga not deep fried. It was full of seafood and a flavorful white cheese sauce. We both enjoyed the food and the wonderful service. We try to go here whenever in the area.

    This is a chicken chimichanga with salsa and chips.

    I love Mexican Food. REAL Mexican food... Taco Bell doesn't compare. So when I found this restaurant, I decided to go for it. I wasn't prepared for the quality of the food and staff! They were outstanding! The chips and salsa were fresh and my dinner was incredible! It's a family-owned and styled restaurant. The menu is full of divine dishes with descriptions that leave your mouth watering and your mind swimming with options.

    Outdoor covered patio dining

    Very nice Mexican restaurant on the lake Huron shoreline in Alpena. For our first meal at this establishment we had the Fajita Taco Salad off the lunch specialty menu ($10.99) and the Al Pastor combo plate ($14.75) off of the main menu. The Fajita salad was quite tasty with the beef strips and grilled pepper/onions adding a nice twist to the traditional straight up beef taco salad that you get in most other Mexican restaurants. The Al Pastor combo, marinated pork strip with grilled onions and pineapples, was equally well made and tasty. Portion size was very generous , especially on the Al Pastor combo plate. Aside from the Entree's, the chips and salsa which are gratis with the meal, were excellent and a perfect complement to my house Margarita which was oh so good and went down very nicely while nibbling on the chips Relative to the restaurant itself, it is clean and bright with a lot of windows facing the lake offering expansive open views of Lake Huron. Nice! Another key attribute of this restaurant is that it also has outdoor patio dining that again offer up those amazing Lake Huron views with the added ambiance of eating outside and hearing the waves lapping as the back stop to your meal. This truly takes outdoor dining to another level and is something most restaurants can not match in this state, Very very nice! Lastly, this is a family run business with super friendly staff that adds to the overall positive dining experience we had here. Overall we were very pleased with our initial dining experience at Pompeyo's. Good food, large portions, friendly staff and those absolutely amazing views. What's not to Like, especially if you a fan of good Mexican food like I am. A business not to be missed if you are in the Alpena area.

    I give 5- stars food was great hot fresh and fast They were kinda busy so I was quite surprised. I tried a lot of food and everything was hot fresh and flavourful actually some of the best I have ever had if you want a good meal here you go. I would also like to add large portions too I'm a big guy and I hate too leave hungry and I didn't. Wait staff was great too

    Very high quality food, great atmosphere with outdoor seating. Food arrives to table in record time and very hot. Excellent service. I am sure to visit here at least once a year if not more.

    Beautiful building with a great patio. Views of the water from inside and outside. It has a park and beach right on front. Staff was friendly and we had great service! Our server was top notch. She gave us recommendations and even continued to check on us after we paid the bill. My shrimp cocktail was amazing and I highly recommend it. It was delicious and healthy!! My Husband's meat & cheese nachos were really good. The white queso was fresh and yummy. The chips were so good too! We will definitely come back here when we're in the area.

    Chips and salsa. Ones mild and one hot

I enjoyed the chimichanga the first time, but the best entree was the Rancheros tacos. They are three delicious deep-fried flour tacos served with beans and rice. I agree with other reviewers that the free chips and salsa are bland, but three hot sauces are available at the table if you want to spice it up. Don't forget the fried ice cream for dessert. Booth and flat-top seating in a quaint, Hispanic-themed restaurant with very decorative tables and music. Parties of 5 or more may have a wait, per the sign on the door. DoorDash and takeout. No credit card fee. Lunch and combo specials. Competitive pricing. The food comes out quickly with good service. Large strip mall parking lot. I have and will return.

We got there just before the lunch crowd but service was fast and the food was excellent. My mom and I both got the beef chimichanga lunch. It came with rice and beans and a guacamole salad on the side. The white queso sauce over the chimichanga was excellent. Everything was hot and fresh and lunch also comes with complementary chips and salsa. The chips were a little on the heavier side but surprisingly light and tasty. They make them in house our waitress told us. Prices were reasonable and we were in and out in 30 minutes and back on the road.

The bread was soaked in what I assume was maybe garlic butter but it tasted like it was from a popcorn machine. Everyone ordered something different and the consensus was everything was sub par except for the lasagna. Perch was filled with bones, pizza was super oily and saturated from the pan it was on, shrimp was just okay. We were really excited to try this place but probably won't be back. Give it a chance if you're in the mood for pasta, I suppose.
