In spanish, or at least in México, we say "de nada/no fue nada" when someone say thanks/thank you (gracias). I want to know if there's a "respuesta" in english, what do you say when somebody says thank you

En la capital también decimos "no hay de qué" - pues muy común.

Hay mucha gente aquí en EEUU que dice "no problem" como respuesta a las gracias, así es que úsala si quieres pero a mí me choca porque da la impresión de que hayas molestado a la gente que te lo dice aunque ahora es un expresión muy de la moda.

The old fashioned way, which is what I use, is simple: "you're welcome"

I know that one, but wasn't sure how cotidian/common was. Thanks - EleRo, May 17, 2016
En California los hispanohablantes bajo la influencia del inglés dicen "Ningún problema." - Daniela2041, May 17, 2016

You may also say "My pleasure!" It's short for "It was my pleasure to do that/this for you."

I know this is an older post but I'd like to add that I too in the Midwest US have noticed over the last 10 years a trend to people almost exclusively saying "not a problem" or as others have said "no problem." I still say "You're welcome" but it's probably on its way out.
