Loco's Motive Chew Chew BBQ opened back in August, 2024, and offers amazing barbecue, breakfast, lunch and dinner in Snelling, a small community in rural Merced County, CA.  Here is a collection of photos of some of the amazing cuisine that Loco's offers for your dining pleasure...

As with all of reviews that I publish, I have no affiliation with the restaurant reviewed, and there is no monetary gain on my part, as I am simply a person who likes to eat, and I love to write-up, and publish my dining experiences.

Photo:  Sunday, March 09, 2025, it was time to enjoy a breakfast of tri-tip barbecued beef, hash browns, eggs, and a cup of coffee or two.

Photo:  Saturday, March 08, 2025, it's Linguica that highlight's today's breakfast, along with Loco's breakfast potatoes, eggs, a biscuit, coffee, and Kinder's barbecue sauce.

Photo:  Saturday morning, March 01, 2025, and Dan shows off his "Hawaiian Burger and Fries" which make for a somewhat unconventional breakfast for this Saturday morning.  Many offerings on the menu are available any time the restaurant is open, so if you crave a burger for breakfast... you got it.

Photo:  Steve is a little more conventional, as he enjoyed a breakfast of "Linguica and Eggs."

Photo:  Thursday, February 27, 2025, Marc came up with a special breakfast, which he called "Shrimp a l Diabla. It had fried shrimp placed on top of nacho chips, grilled red potatoes, and was topped with Cotija cheese and pico de gallo.

Thanks to the current egg crisis, there were no eggs for breakfast today.  Thanks to Chef Marc's creativity and talent!

Photo:  Saturday, February 22, 2025 and chef Marc Diaz made a special breakfast of a burrito, stuffed with bacon and eggs, topped with pico de gallo and cojia Mexican cheese.  Red potatoes were served on the side.  Chef Marc has talent!

Photo:  Monday, January 13, 2025, it's a simple breakfast that Marc custom made... pigs in a blancket with loaded fries.

Photo:  Breakfast for Sunday, January 12, 2025 started out with sweet potato biscuit bananas, a la Foster.

Photo:  Breakfast on this Sunday morning was crispy pulled pork, on top of loaded potatoes, cheese and salsa, topped by two eggs, fried over easy.

Photo:  Saturday, January 11, 2025, Chef Marc made a special dish for Dan which he called "Dan's Bisquit Stacker."  It's properly named, as the dish began with a foundation of "Otis Potatles, covered with sausage gravy, shredded cheese, fried eggs, bacon stips, and topped with two freshly-baked buttermilk bisquits.  Delicious!

Photo:  Friday, January 10, 2025, and Chef Marc created a special breakfast upon Dan's request... Tri-tip, Otis potatoes "on steorids," gravy, fried eggs along with English muffins.  The chef will be happy to create a custom order for you, assuming he has the components on hand.

This all began early Friday morning when Dan walked up to the kitchen window and asked Marc to prepare him a breakfast that he hadn't enjoyed before.  "Otis Potatoes on Steorids" was the delicious result!

Photo:  Monday, January 06, 2025, it's a lunch of "Carnitas Tacos."

Photo:  How many restaurant serve "Bread Pudding?"  Loco's does, and you have to ask, as it's not listed on the menu.

Photo:  Saturday, January 04, 2025 was a day to enjoy Tri-tip, two eggs fried over easy, "Otis Potatoes," two English muffins and a cup or two of fine coffee.  Saturday mornings don't get any better!

Photo:  Photo:  Friday, January 03, 2025, and another wonderful breakfast at Locos... with a breakfast of "Lalo's Loco Moco" from the "Breakfast" page of the menu, complete with English muffins and a side of biscuits and gravy. Traditional Hawaiian breakfast, along with a California flair, as Honolulu meets Snelling at Loco's!
