KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that the undersigned hereby makes,
constitutes and appoints Marissa Andrada and Michael McGawn, 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

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

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 revokes any earlier-dated power of attorney
relating to reporting obligations of the undersigned under Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act, and 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 Colorado without regard to conflict-of-law
principles.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Limited Power of Attorney
as of the 22nd day of October, 2018
