A new snack shop is now offering churros, paletas, aguas frescas and other treats at 405 E. Aviation Blvd., Universal City.

Meet the owners

Fabiola Alva and her husband Jose Ibargue said they opened their business because of their family’s love for snacks and ice cream.

“We were in furniture sales for many years before this, but we prayed that one day we would open our very own snack shop,” Alva said.

Offerings at El Rey include corn in a cup, coffee, ice cream, bagels, chicharrones preparados, mangonadas, milkshakes, banana splits, rusas and more.


What’s happening?

Alva said a ribbon cutting celebration will take place Jan. 10 and will be open to the public.
