LA is a great city, but I dont know if it fits the bill as socially conservative. Orange County might work on the socially conservative side, but its not fiscally liberal. Maybe the IE?

The OP is focusing on Latinos, not the population at large. In spite for voting almost exclusively Democratic, Latinos are fairly conservative [ie. tend to be Catholic\ less open to gay marriage, etc]. But surveys have shown that Latinos, in general, are very pro-union & favor an assertive government. I think Latinos, at least in California, are very close to being socialists even if they don't use the name. Conservative socialists.
Isn't being socially conservative and fiscally liberal equal to communism? Perhaps you should check out Cuba, China, or North Korea. For career opportunity/growth, I'd probably choose China. Good luck, comrade.
What you're describing sounds a lot like the midwest--especially St. Louis, Cleveland, Louisville, and possibly Chicago. America's industrial blue collar cities have a long tradition of being pro-union and Catholic. Chicago is less socially conservative but there are still pockets of Catholic devotion and the Latino population continues to grow into one of the country's largest. And Chicago is very fiscally liberal.
New Mexico is another place that comes to mind.
I'm not sure if all Catholics [regardless of race\ ethnicity] are socially conservative\ fiscally liberal but they tend to vote Democratic.
