In 2016, she had started occasionally working with the comedian Fred Armisen after having applied to work on his show Portlandia. When Armisen successfully pitched an idea for a new Spanish-language comedy series to HBO, he recruited Fabrega and fellow New York comedian Julio Torres to co-write and produce the show, Los Espookys. In addition to working as a writer and showrunner on Los Espookys, which Fabrega describes as "a show in an unnamed fictional Latin American country about a group of friends who make horror for people who need it," she plays the character Tati. The first season of Los Espookys aired in 2019. The show was renewed for a second season later that year. Filming was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but production on season 2 wrapped in early 2022. In 2022, Fabrega appeared as Vanessa in the film Father of the Bride.

Fabrega is a self-described "queer, vegan democratic socialist."
