LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR SECTION 16(a) REPORTING

KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that the undersigned hereby makes,
constitutes and appoints Roger Theodoredis, Michael McGawn and Helen Kaminski,
and each of them, as the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact (the
?Attorney-in Fact?), with full power of substitution and re-substitution, each
with the power to act alone for the undersigned and in the undersigned's name,
place and stead, in any and all capacities to: 1.	prepare, execute in the
undersigned's name and on the undersigned's behalf, and submit to the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the ?SEC?) a Form ID, including amendments
thereto, and any other documents necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and
passwords enabling the undersigned to make electronic filings with the SEC of
reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
?Exchange Act?) or any rule or regulation of the SEC; 2.	prepare, execute and
file with the SEC, any national securities exchange or securities quotation
system any and all reports (including any amendment thereto) of the undersigned
required or considered advisable under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder, with respect to the equity securities of
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (the ?Company?), including Forms 3, 4 and 5 and
Form 144; and 3.	obtain, as the undersigned's representative and on the
undersigned's behalf, information regarding transactions in the Company's
equity securities from any third party, including the Company and any brokers,
dealers, employee benefit plan administrators and trustees, and the undersigned
hereby authorizes any such third party to release any such information to the
Attorney-in-Fact. The undersigned acknowledges that: 1.	this Limited Power of
Attorney authorizes, but does not require, the Attorney-in-Fact to act at his
or her discretion on information provided to such Attorney-in-Fact without
independent verification of such information; 2.	any documents prepared or
executed by the Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this
Limited Power of Attorney will be in such form and will contain such
information as the Attorney-in-Fact, in his or her discretion, deems necessary
or desirable; 3.	neither the Company nor the Attorney-in-Fact assumes any
liability for the undersigned's responsibility to comply with the requirements
of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any liability of the undersigned for any
failure to comply with such requirements, or any liability of the undersigned
for disgorgement of profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; and
4.	this Limited Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from
responsibility for compliance with the undersigned's obligations under Section
16 of the Exchange Act, including, without, limitation, the reporting
requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. The undersigned hereby
grants to the Attorney-in-Fact full power and authority to do and perform each
and every act and thing requisite, necessary or convenient to be done in
connection with the foregoing, as fully, to all intents and purposes, as the
undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all
that the Attorney-in-Fact, or his or her substitute or substitutes, shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by authority of this Limited Power of Attorney.
This Limited Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 4 or 5 with respect to the
undersigned's transactions in equity securities of the Company, unless earlier
revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
Attorney-in-Fact or the Company. This Limited Power of Attorney shall be
governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to conflict-of-law principles. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
undersigned has executed this Limited Power of Attorney as of October 1, 2024.
