Carl's Jr. revives fan-favorite treat after angry customers lashed fast food joint for axing it

Fast food chain Carl's Jr has revived its discontinued El Diablo burger after repeated pleas from fans. 

The sandwich is back in stores now. 

It contains charbroiled beef, special habanero sauce, bacon, jalapeno chilis, breaded jalapeno bites, pepper jack cheese, all enclosed in a potato bun. 

But fans will have to be quick, as it will only remain on Carl's Jr's menu until August 15.

Carl's Jr. spokesman Anthony Nguyen told The US Sun: 'This burger packs a flavor punch and has built a cult following over the years as our spiciest burger yet. We were eager to bring back this bold menu item – with some fun and great deals.

'You spoke. We listened. This one is for the dedicated fans who reached out daily, and we can't wait for them to be reunited with El Diablo.'

The fast food chain hasn't said why the beloved burger is only making a brief return, and it's unclear if the El Diablo will be revived once again in the future - or even made a permanent addition to Carl's Jr's menu, if demand is sufficient. 

Carl's Jr. has relaunched its super-spicy El Diablo burger - although only until August 15 

The sandwich is stuffed with jalapenos, breaded jalapenos, cheese, bacon and sauce 

Carl's Jr. also offers a My Rewards program to encourage customers to keep chomping down on its treats. 

Users can earn 10 stars for every dollar spent, with rewards unlocked when users hit 150 stars, 300 stars and 500 stars.

The El Diablo burger is one of a number of buzzy launches and re-launches from popular fast food chains in recent months.

McDonald's recently debuted a purple, berry-flavored milkshake inspired by a long-forgotten, grape-colored mascot called Grimace who's recently been revived.

The shake has quickly become the talk of the internet, and even inspired a bizarre trend where TikTok users pretend to die after consuming it.

McDonald's also hit the headlines by launching special limited edition dips of its iconic BigMac sauce, giving fans the chance to try the condiment with McNuggets and fries.

The chain with the golden arches has repeatedly brought back its McRib pork sandwich, having proclaimed each reappearance will be the barbecue-sauce coated burger's 'farewell tour.'
