Carl’s Jr. relaunches fan-favorite menu item after customers call out fast food joint - but there’s a catch

CARL’S Jr. customers can rest easy as their favorite discontinued burger is now back on menus.

The El Diablo burger has returned after fans have been begging and petitioning the chain to put it back on menus since 2018.

Customers can expect to see its signature potato bun, charbroiled beef, a special fiery habanero sauce, bacon, Jalapeno Popper bites, pepper jack cheese, and jalapenos.

Carl’s Jr. is offering the El Diablo burger as well as a meal where fast foodies can grab the “crave-worthy” El Diablo Angus, El Diablo Burger, El Diablo Double, and the El Diablito Double Deal.

"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,” Anthony Nguyen, Carl's Jr. vice president of brand marketing, said.

“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,” he added.
