Huh? Californians say "Cab-REE-yo," not "Cab-RILL-o," while Mission Viejo is
"Vee-YAY-ho but Vallejo is "Val-LAY-ho." What's the general rule again?

True, but as one of the comments indicated that once something is localized
outside of it's native region, then the prevailing pronunciation is correct.
Because we definitely don't pronounce Vallejo (of Spanish origin) or
Cabrillo (of Portuguese origin) correctly around here...

Hate to be the evil one, but it's usually pronounced "phaw"...
